On November 16th at approximately 0930 hrs. Hazmat 26 responded mutual aid into District #3, for a fire in a warehouse involving chemicals. Community Volunteer Fire Co. #1 and East Franklin Fire Department were on scene. The fire was extinguished prior to our arrival and our crew assisted in assessment and containment of product within the building.
Station 26 and station 56 trained together on 11/14 reviewing mechanical advantages and hauling systems.
Just prior to 6am this morning 23 fire was dispatched to West Main Street for a Mattress Fire, shortly after dispatch county communications updated with fire through the roof. The fire was under control in about an hour and fifteen minutes. Extensive overhaul was necessary for hot spots. Great job by all members and thank you to our mutual aid companies.
