| The second working fire in St. Thomas in the past
two weeks sent Engine 1-2, Engine 1-4, and Truck 1 out the door around 5:30 p.m. This time crews responded to 8875
Edenville Cheesetown Road for a reported barn fire. Within minutes, Deputy Chief 1 (Fire Attack) arrived to find a large
hay barn on fire with multiple exposure issues. Truck 1 was assigned for fire attack, Engine 1-2 was used to draft, and
Engine 1-4 was at the beginning of the fill site. Chief 18 (Command) requested multiple alarms and the tanker task force
before bringing the fire under control. Crews remained on scene for over five hours. |
