21st- fire
Yesterday afternoon there was a pretty big fire in a neighboring County. York VFD and others were paged to assist. I met one of our trucks near Helena and we drove the 30 miles to the fire.
It was a controlled burn that got out of control when the wind started blowing hard. By the time we got there, the fire was under control but still being put out. A warehouse and some other buildings had burned down.
The truck we brought is used to haul water.
A fold-a-tank was placed next to an engine and we dumped water into that. The engine then pumped water from the tank to another engine which was putting out the fire.
I took some pictures while we were waiting for the truck in front of ours to dump.
