CENTRAL
VILLAGE CALLED TO PLAINFIELD BRUSH FIRE
Friday, April 25, 2008
At 13:40 hours QV dispatched
Central Village units to assist the Plainfield Fire Department with a
quick-moving brush fire on Lathrop Road in their first due. ET-197
& F-197 responded on the run with combined staffing of six (6) members.
While en route to Plainfield, QV redirected Station 97 to a report of a
separate grass fire near the intersection of Norwich Road and Lathrop
Road Ext. ET-197 located a very small fire and had it controlled
within minutes before continuing onto the original assignment. The
crew from F-197 arrived and immediately went to work extinguishing fire
in close proximity to a residence. Personnel staffing ET-197
also began knocking down fire while the apparatus chauffer shuttled
loads of water from the fill site to brush units on the fireground.
Several other mutual aid forestry apparatus and tankers were called to
the scene before the estimated 15 acre fire was brought under control.
Central Village units assisted on scene until 18:00 hours.
