I live on Middle and about 8 Fire Dept vehicles (at least 3 of them were engines) went by my house on the way to this fire. I thought we had another General Industries type fire going due to the response. So I was surprised to see this morning that it was this. It's good no one was hurt and the damage was minimal.
Crazy. I am glad no one was hurt.
Shannon,
Yesterday Station 2 was manned and we had enough firefighters to place our Heavy Rescue in service.
All totaled yesterday we had 19 firefighters manning 6 pieces of fire apparatus.
No one was off duty on vacation, holiday, etc.
Do not let this fool you though, this is the exception rather than the rule.
At 0800 hrs this morning, station 2was closed due to minimum staffing.
