Woods fire on Manor Road this evening
By Wagontown Volunteers
November 26, 2016
This evening at 16:39 hours the Company was dispatched for a reported woods fire along Route 82 north of Rt. 340. Chief 35 marked up after dispatch and was advised it was an area about 200' off the roadway and up a hill. Chief arrived in the 1200 Block of Manor and found an area of woods on fire off the roadway on a hill.
Tac 35 and Brush 35-1 made the response shortly after and access was made from a driveway to the fire, crews lead off with about 400' of forestry line and knocked the fire down. Brush 35-2 then made the response and the crews together worked to contain and extinguish the fire.
Crews worked for about an hour or so, cutting a line around the fire and mopping up the hot spots. Crews then returned and made the equipment ready for the next run.
