11/28/2012

CCFR units responded to a mutual aid request for an industrial fire at the Georgia Pacific Mill on U.S. Highway 321 in Allendale County on Wednesday morning 28-November at 11:51.  Car 118 responded with four personnel and arrived at 12:24 to find a very large industrial facility with smoke showing from multi-story chip hopper.  The fire was confined but required extensive overhaul.  Colleton County Fire-Rescue personnel assisted with fire suppression efforts for over five hours using handlines.  The industry was equipped with an excellent pressurized water supply system.  There were no injuries.

Car 118 and Car 109 responded.

Colleton County Fire-Rescue joined fire departments from Bamberg, Barnwell, Hampton and Jasper Counties in this mutual-aid response.

Chief Brown from Allendale served as Incident Commander.
