Station 607 was sent to Fairhope for a special detail assisting
the Department of Conservation of Natural Resources (DCNR) and the Bureau of
Forestry. A large forest fire had fire crews tied up for nearly two weeks
during a dry spell, and firefighters from Station 607 were called upon to work
at the fire so that other crews could be relieved. Engine 607-1 and Squad
607-5 responded with a crew of 6 persons and spent 10 hours working at the scene.
The crew from the Squad monitored a break line and watched for hot spots,
while the Engine was staged with a crew from Windber on the front line to
supply water if needed. Below are pictures of the 607 apparatus and a view
of the mountainside from the access road leading to the fire. |
