Engine 1-1 assists with Hay Bales on fire



Engine 1-1 was alerted to the 1100 block of Swamp Fox Road for hay bales on fire. New Franklin Fire units were on scene with several hundred bales potentially involved. Engine 1-1 arrived and positioned in the field near the pile to provide exposure protection to other piles of hay bales. Once those were moved, crews utilized a hoseline to assist with fire attack. Crews operated for over 3 hours before returning to service.
