Yesterday, while everyone was at Bourbon helping them with the big brush fire, Missy and I got up about 2 pm to go run on the treadmill at the fire station and as we were heading out the driveway, my pager sounded and we were kicked out to a truck fire at Flying J Truckstop, reported to be near the pumps. I started instead toward Station One to get the pumper, but two blocks up the road, the pumper went enroute, so I turned around and headed direct to the truck stop. I arrived shortly behind the pumper and pulled up to find Junior Firefighters Drew Osborn and Stetson Zelch attacking the small fire in the bed of the dodge pickup, which was not near the pumps thankfully….

..with Larry Flesher, our Deputy Chief, supervising their efforts. Following their training protocols, they were properly attired in protective gear and wearing air packs as well, and they worked well as a team….

Drew grabbed a pike pole and took care of overhaul work while Stetson cooled down the bed liner and wheel wells….

…combining for teamwork, which is what all departments should strive for….

GOOD JOB GUYS  !!!!!
