| Engine 29 |
Tuesday, January 5, 2010 12:44 - The day started early for Station 9 crews when Engine 9 was moved to Suffolk station 4 to cover for a working fire on Holland Rd at 0325. E9 was released around 0800. This was followed up by a transfer to Suffolk station 5 while the north end companies were committed on a natural gas leak in a commercial building (E29 was staffed in station during both transfers). After clearing the second backfill, E9 returned to the station and the crew started cooking lunch. At 1244 we were alerted for a reported garage fire in IOW county on Spring Lake Dr. E29 (Par 4, Spencer OIC), Tanker 9 (Par 2), and Car 109 (Parsons) responded leaving E9 staffed in the station. Car 109 arrived to find a detached garage well off exposing a house trailer and several vehicles. E29 arrived and backed into the driveway, leading off with a 2 1/2" attack line. Tanker 9 arrived to establish the water supply. Command requested Carrollton Tanker 10, Quint 10 was already on the road as well as Smithfield E51 and E52. Quint 10 arrived and pulled the second line and assisted with knocking the fire. E51 went to a dry hydrant at IOW Industrial Park to establish a draft site. Tanker 10 took the water supply position and Tanker 9 was used to shuttle from the draft location. Crews from the three departments worked well and prevented extension beyond the fire building. Car 109 had the command. Other units on scene : Carrollton Rescue 10, Squad 10, 101 (Acree), Smithfield 501 (Stallings), IOW Sheriffs Office. Total St 9 members responding - 17
