Stations 1, 12,
19, and 24 responded to two buildings on fire at the
intersection of Peurifoy Road and Gadsden Loop Wednesday 24-September
at 13:30. Engine 19 arrived to report a storage building and small work
shop well involved. It appeared the fires in both structures started
from a grass fire. A doublewide mobile home on the property also
received damage to the vinyl siding. Firefighters used one 1-3/4 hand
line and a booster line to extinguish the fire. Despite a 6 minute
response time, both buildings had already collapsed prior to the arrival
of firefighters. Tenders provided the water supply for Engine 19. No one
was injured in the incident.
Engine 1, Engine
19, Engine 24, Tender 1, Tender 19, Medic 19, Medic 27, Trucks 12 and
