Kuhl Hose was dispatched to RT 430 & I-90 to assist Brookside at a Brush / Wild land fire. 689, 686, & 682 assisted at the scene with equipment and manpower. Crews worked for over 5 hours to contain a 10+ acre brush / wild land fire.

Due to the fire's location and access issues one lane of I-90 East Bound near exit 32 was closed for fire apparatus staging and safety. A tender shuttle operation was set up to supply Pump 689 using 500' of 2 1/2" from 686. 689 was supplying water to crews in the wooded are using over 900' of 1" line.

The fire was very located in an area that sits along the ridge of Wintergreen Gorge. Crews from Greenfield, with gear from Harborcreek repelled to the bottom of the gorge to work on fire containment. In the 5 hour operation a total of 10 departments assisted with manpower and equipment containing the fire. The fire possibly started by careless and an unattended camp fire.
