🔥 Estimated 18 acres burnt with this wind swept fire. Thank you to all of our mutual aid companies for your efforts in getting the fire under control. With the lack of volunteer daylight staffing, relying on mutual aid companies to assist is of greater importance. This incident proved how having working relationships with your neighboring stations can lead to a successful outcome. 🙌

🆘 If you’re interested in helping us solve the daylight staffing issues, stop in and pick up an application. You could make the difference in saving someone’s life or property. 💪

Thursday evening Engine/Tanker 24 participated in mutual aid training hosted by Geeseytown Community Fire Company at Canoe Creek State Park. ET24 was part of the water shuttle, being filled by Engine Rescue 10 and Engine Rescue 12 at the draft site located at the Bass Court boat launch. ET24 shuttled water to the three dump tanks set up to supply water to Engine 30 as the working engine. It was a great evening working with so many different mutual aid companies. Thank you station 30 for the invite! Stations that participated were stations 30, 10, 20, 90, 12, 50, and 24.
