Friday afternoon was interesting. We had already had 2 accident calls for the day but the best call was yet to come. Around 3 pm, I heard the call go out for another company at the other end of town for a mulch fire next to the building at one of the Taco Bell/KFC combos that we have around here.
Well, let's just say that what started out as a mulch fire turned into a 2 alarm fire. When the first unit arrived on scene, they found smoke showing and requested that the box be filled. The fire was put out using ladder pipes; in other words, hose lines off of the aerials were used.
My station was dispatched for the second alarm. By the time we got there, the fire was pretty much knocked. We ended up helping to boost the water pressure to another unit. And I had time to take a few pictures of one of my favorite pieces of apparatus - the truck!!! And my favorite crew was working Friday as well.
And yes, the establishment is closed and word is that they have already started demolition and the renovation process.
