2 Fires and a Vehicle Accident

2/2/10-  Companies 25, 6, 9, 10, 11, 26 and 33 were dispatched in the early morning hours to Hillandale Farms in box 25-2 for an electrical fire in a barn.  Engine 25-2 and Tanker 25 responded together, and arrived on scene to find a circuit breaker smoldering, and extending through the wires to other areas.  The engine crew pulled the trash line and entered the building.  Command 25 advised any units not on the scene to reduce their rate, and later held the assignment to companies 25, 6, 9 and 10 until the building could be checked for further extension.  Command then held Engine 25-2, Tanker 25, Engine 10-1 and 9A, while crews removed the box from the wall. 

In the early afternoon, Assistant 25 (Crouse) radioed county requesting companies 25 and 6 for a pile of pvc pipe on fire threatening a structure on Center Mills Rd in box 25-7.  Engine 25-2, Tanker 25, and Engine 6-2 responded, and then the Asst. requested additional resources, eventually bringing Tanker 9, Tanker 6, Engine 6-1 and Engine 8.  As the fire was brought under control, E6-2, E25-2, T25 and T6 remained on scene, and all others were placed in service.

Then in the evening hours, Co. 25 was dispatched along with ambulances 1A and 9A for a vehicle accident on Rt. 15 southbound.  Engine 25-1 responded and found a vehicle spun out in the median of the highway.
