Sunday August 16th, 2009 United fire was dispatched for a reported
structure fire Potter Rd Franklin twp. United 13 went enroute to
scene and was advised by communications of an out building on fire
exposing a house and trees, that if involved, would also endanger
the residence. The next due Engine and Tanker were requested.
United 13 arrived finding a 15ft x
15ft out building fully involved exposing a 2 story, wood frame,
single family. United Tower 3 arrived positioning on the B-C corner
of the exposure and stretching their 2 1/2" blitz line to the fire
building. Engine 2 was staged in a field road standing by in
preparation to lay a supply line if needed. Snake Creek tanker was
tied into Tower 3 as the nurse tanker. United Tanker 4 was staged
with Snake Creek Engine 3 on the roadway.
The fire was quickly knocked down and the line reduced for
overhauling. Additional crews were assigned to investigate the
exposure for extension which proved negative. After depleting the
first tanker load of water, crews from Snake Creek established a
water supply at a near-by pond.
Units operated for approx 1 1/2 hours overhauling and clearing a
light smoke condition from the exposure. All units were released
back into service with no injuries reported.
