Wagontown Engine 35 arrived 1st due and stretched the first line for fire attack, Wagontown Chief Ziegler arrived and assumed the Baldwin Road Command with Engine 33-1 arriving next and stretched a supply line to the hydrant 1300' away.
Ladder 41 arrived and the truck went to the roof, with the other Whitehorse, Sadsburyville, Honey Brook and Glenmoore units arriving at the scene supplying manpower. Crews went to work with assigned duties and 21 minutes later after the arrival of the 1st in engine the fire was under control with ventilation and searches complete, ladders thrown and RIT in position.
The crews were then in the overhaul mode, awaiting the completion of the investigation by the County and State Fire Marshals. After the investigation Fling's Towing was on hand to remove the vehicle from the garage and allowed for good overhaul of the garage, car and surrounding areas. Special thanks to Fling's Towing for the assist on moving the car out of the garage.
Great work by all on the scene which prevented further damage. Good building construction held the fire to the garage and proper line placement and coordination held this fire to the garage. |
