This Saturday was the
Chicken BBQ for the firehouse fund
raiser along with activities for the
Pool's 50th anniversary. Members
arrived early to start the grills for the chicken
and preparing the assembly line for the
meals once the crowds arrived. The
morning was quiet, then around noon the
company was dispatched to the 2900 Block
of Compass Rd for the barn fire. The
engine house cleared out with the
response of everything but Brush 1,
meanwhile other volunteers stayed back
to man the chicken pits. After the barn
fire was found to be a minor mulch fire
which occurred while the owner was
fueling the tractor. The engine arrived
onscene and went in-service with the
booster line to wet down the area,
owners had the fire knocked on arrival.
Once back at station the crews continued
to work the BBQ, fill the dunk tanks for
the pools events and other items. Fire
Police handled the motorcycle road rally
that came through at 10 am along Route
10.
