SECOND FIRE OF A VERY BUSY DAY FOR THE ENGINE AND
TOWER LADDER |
|
July 13, 2008
– What was already a busy day got even busier as a
severe storm blew through this evening. Lightning
strikes are being considered as the cause for at
least to fires on the west end of the county alone.
At 2000 hours, Engine, Tower and Assistant Chief 501
responded on the mutual box to 10002 Burwell Drive.
Crews arrived to find a 20x30 shed well involved. A
quick knock on the fire was achieved by the crews
from Wagon 525 and Engine 501. Crews from Tower 501
and Engine 607 (Loudoun County in on a transfer)
opened up. Assistant Chief 501 (Higgins) had the
command. Units from the City went ready at 2211
hours and were assigned to an inside gas leak,
causing them to miss another fire at the same time,
a few blocks away.
With two jobs already and 15 runs in between, it
wasn't the end of the world. Good job to all the
companies on the west-end and thanks to the transfer
companies from Loudoun and Fairfax who participated
in the torrent runs this evening. |
