Monday, August 16, 2010 at 6:43 PM – Clarkston:
A fire was reported in a shed behind a residence in Clarkston. Fire units were dispatched from several stations for the working structure fire assignment.
Responding on the first alarm were Battalion 10, Engine 10, Squad 10 (Clarkston), Engine 130 (Trenton), Engine 50 (Newton), Rescue 70 (Logan), Battalion 3A, 3A220 and 3A224 (CCFD).
The first due unit struck a second alarm with dispatch which brought Engine 20, Air 20 (Lewiston), Engine 30 (Richmond) and Engine 40 (Smithfield).
Engine 10, Engine 130 and Engine 50 each brought a supply line from hydrants and deployed attack lines to control the fire. The second alarm engines were used for manpower to handle the multiple hose lines and for overhaul when the fire in the shed was knocked down.
The fire in the shed also ignited hay bales that were nearby. Once the shed was under control a backhoe was used to spread apart the bales so the fire in the hay could be extinguished with the established hose lines.
Squad 10 and Rescue 70 provided rehab to the firefighters as needed. Air 20 assisted in refilling the breathing air bottles used to protect the attack teams working in the heat and heavy smoke conditions.
