Within a day of the house fire, we responded to another structure fire, a mobile home fire, on Hwy 185 south of town…I was out and about in town and a few minutes behind the trucks.  I heard radio traffic advising units responding, to slow down when they hit the Washington County line on Hwy 185 because the road wasn`t as cleanly plowed as it was inside Franklin County and he was right…I never did hit a spot where I slid but it was def more snow covered and appeared to have only been plowed down the middle…didn`t even look like the blade had been lowered all the way down to the roadbed. The trailer sat on a curve so I decided to park at the intersection of Ruby Road, which was across the highway and turned my truck to face north and plugged in my blue strobe light to slow traffic down on approach to the fire, since our trucks were parked in the northbound lane blocking it, and approaching northbound traffic would have to come to a stop on a hillside as well.  Due to that and being about five minutes behind the trucks, I didn`t capture the heavy flames that the crews saw on arrival.

Here is how it looked when I arrived….

..here the juniors were taking salvage covers to the interior crews so that interior furniture and valuable possessions could be covered and saved from water damage….

…as Davey was stretching another line to assist the interior crews…

…and then operated it once it was charged, to put out the eaves flames…

…a few of our newer junior firefighters responded with the crews and helped in the extinguishment  and mop up operations…

..and the interior crews made a good stop despite heavy fire on arrival…
