I was at home listening to the scanner when I heard Cencom kick Bourbon out for a Garage Fire on Bohenkamp Road, and knowing how close that is to Sullivan Fire Department`s district line, I knew Sullivan Fire would be enroute shortly. I drove to the location taking the back way in and soon spotted a column of heavy black smoke, parking in a small field with a few firefighters who drove direct to the call and a Crawford County deputy friend. As I approached Bourbon`s fire trucks, I saw firefighters stretching out their hoselines to make a defensive attack and a small car parked in front of a totally engulfed two car garage….

…and Chief Daniel Whatley manning a large diameter hoseline with a portable deck gun attached….

It was a few minutes before help arrived from Cuba and Sullivan Fire Districts and Bourbon`s firefighters made a great knockdown on the fire in that amount of time…

It was about this time that Sullivan Pumper 854 arrived with Captain Dave Konys and his crew, and they entered the structure shortly to knock down remaining fire inside the building…

As I was leaving, I spotted Bourbon`s new tanker parked just off the driveway in the woods and snapped this photo of it…
