02/15 -
Perry Hiway was dispatched to Old French Rd late Monday morning.
Reports of a trailer fire were received by dispatch. Enroute
Engine 423 was advised that the structure sat a considerable
distance from the roadway. The driveway was over 2000 feet long
and the involved structure.
423
arrived reported a working fire in a residential structure. The
crew stretched a line and made the initial attack on the fire.
683 Engine arrived, backed down the driveway, established a drop
tank water fill site and supplied 423. 683 crew pulled a 2nd
line and assisted with fire suppression.
Tenders
435, 685 & 686 shuttled water from a hydrant at Old French and
Robison Rd. The tenders backed down the driveway and filled the
drop tank. The driveway conditions didn't allow for more than 1
piece of apparatus at a time.
Engine 362
& 363 crews arrived and had to walk the distance to the fire
because there was no room for apparatus due to the water shuttle
operation. Once at the scene 1 crew went to the roof for
ventilation and the 2nd crew assisted with suppression efforts.
Mckean Engine 405 arrived and their crew was assigned
suppression and overhaul.
REHAB 68
assisted as well as Brookside manpower with the Mule to shuttle
equipment and manpower.
MPS stood
by and evaluated several firefighters with minor issues, mostly
due to the cold weather. No one was transported and there were
no reportable injuries. The Fire is under investigation by
Perry Hiway and the State Police Fire Marshal.
