Working Structure Fire

Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at 11:45 PM:

Engine 50 was paged as automatic aid to a working structure in Petersboro.

Engine 50's crew had just left the station just when a Tender Task Force assignment was requested by Mendon's Fire Chief, planning ahead because the fire was in an area not supported by hydrants. Another page for Station 50 was transmitted bringing Tender 50 as part of the Tender Task Force assignment.

Units from Mendon arrived a short time later and reported no structures were involved, it was just a campfire. All units from the automatic aid stations were cancelled.
