At 1402, the Engine Company was alerted for a woods fire on the 4700 Block of Baer Valley Ln in Hellam Township. Engine 41 (FF Oberdorff) went en route with 4 personnel in two minutes. Chief 41-1 (Russ) arrived on the scene to find a working woods fire, with approximately 2-3 acres involved, endangering multiple structures and spreading. Attack 21 arrived on scene and advanced handlines to begin getting a knock on the fire. Engine 41 arrived on scene and supplied the Attack truck. The crew from Engine Co 41 pulled the 300' line, as well as the hi-rise pack for additional line. Crews from 21/41 knocked a majority of the fire with lines, and indian tanks. Multiple departments assisted in extinguishing hot spots, and falling trees that were on fire in the area. Special thanks to E19-2 for covering the 41 District while we were at the fire. |
