Hard to believe this was two years ago. #teamwork #trainforreallife
m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2106550216294978&id=1602769880006350BRUSH FIRE At 1705 hours, Wesley Chapel Fire Dept Station 31 was dispatched mutual aid to Station 18 (Waxhaw Volunteer Fire Department) for a brush fire. E311 and BR316 responded. Station 18 arrived on scene first to find a brush fire located atop an embankment, on the other side of the railroad tracks. Station 18 assumed command and began adding additional resources. Station 15 (Mineral Springs Volunteer Fire & Rescue) and Station 10 (Indian Land Fire Department) were also added on the initial assignment. Command also shut down the railroad to reach the fire. E311 arrived and stretched 100' of booster real, 300' 1.75", and 400' of 2" to reach the fire. BR316 also deployed 100' of booster real. Once crews reached the fire, there was no access to the fire area. Crews then raised an extension ladder to reach the embankment. A coordinated fire attack with Stations 18, 15, and 10 was initiated as well as fire containment with hand tools. NC Forestry Service cut a fire line and assisted in suppression. Command summoned Union EMS due to the weather for rehab, and a second alarm. The second alarm brought Stations 43 & 19. Upon the arrival of these additional resources crews were swapped out and fire attack continued. Foam was then used to coat the entire area which appeared to be roughly a 600'x50' area of fallen trees stacked approximately 3 feet. T184 was used as a water shuttle for a water supply due to no hydrants. Special thanks to CCOM, Waxhaw PD, and SC Troopers for traffic control.
