During this incident there was no loss in water supply
First-arriving units utilized the water carried in their onboard tanks before transitioning to a fire hydrant on Old Hwy 53 for a long-term water supply. This is standard practice during structure fire operations. As the water supply on the engines began to run low, firefighters connected to the hydrant and transitioned to the sustained water supply without interruption to firefighting operations.
