The Trailer Fire that wasnt….

Let me explain the title….we were dispatched to a reported trailer fire and arrived to find a wooden fence on fire near a trailer…I suppose if it was reported by a passing motorist from I-44, one could understand because the fence stood fairly high and was in front of a trailer, in a trailer park…here is what it looked like when we arrived….

 

01 Fence On Fire Not Trailer

…and here Engineer Bill Windham is shown at the pumpĀ  of Pumper 854 and charging the hoseline….

02 Bill Windham on the Pump Panel

 

..that Firefighter Casey Bridgeman is holding and waiting for water to put the fire out….

 

03 Casey on Hoseline

…and then Casey starts extinguishing the fire on the leaves end and works his way to the fence….

 

04 Casey Starts Knocking Fire Down

…and eventually gets water on the fence as well….

 

05 Casey Knocks Down Fire

…it was suggested that perhaps Casey didnt read this sign before he approached the small facility behind the fence….

06 Hey Casey...Can you Read That Sign
