04/20/12 - Kuhl Hose was dispatched to assist Brookside (Dept 24) on Shannon Rd at a large pile of tree stumps on fire. On arrival 241 reported a large fire and requested Kuhl Hose to send 689 and a tender. On arrival 689 crew set up below the fire to contain and stop the spreading fire into Wintergreen Gorge. A water supply was initially set up from a pond with a portable pump to supply 689. 242 also set up for water supply. Crews from Fuller (Dept 20) assisted 689. Engines from Belle Valley (Dept 36) were assisted from Tenders 685, Harbor Creek 225 (Dept 22) and Fuller 206 on the top side of the cliff. Once the fire was contained the Tenders dumped loads of water into the pile of stumps from the top of the hill. This tactic was used to contain the fire deep under the pile. The landowner used a bulldozer to contain the fire completely by covering it with dirt. Crews were on scene for just under 2 hours. |
