Tonight members placed 4 new battery powered chains saws in service. This was done through a WV Division of Forestry Grant. A saw was placed on each Engine, the Squad, and the Brush Truck. These saws operate on the dewalt platform which integrates with the battery powered fans already in-service and allows for additional equipment on the same platform to be added later.

It's with profound sadness we have to announce the passing of Firefighter Randall Wilcox. Randy joined the fire department in 1998 and answered numerous alarms and was always willing to lend a hand in taking care of the station. Randy held the position of Assistant Supply Sergeant at different times throughout his time with the department. Even at the time his health limited his ability to answer alarms, he transitioned to taking care of things around the station especially the pop machine always making sure it was full for the members and community. Randy was always willing to be a patient to aid in training to allow the other members to be ready when the community needed them. Randy will be missed and we ask you to keep his family and friends in prayers as they navigate this difficult and unexpected time.

At 18:38 a member of the Lost Creek VFD was contacted by the owner of the feed store reporting a propane leak. Engine 32 arrived on scene to find a leak in the pipe from the bottom of the tank. The leak continued after the emergency shut off was activated. Southern States was contacted and came out to off load the tank. 20% LEL reading was on gas monitor and prompted an evacuation in a 330 foot radius. Personnel evacuated residents on Railroad St, Short St, Virginia Ave, South Streetcar Way. Harrison County OEM assisted in locating a location to evacuate individuals too that was not needed as those evacuated were able to locate places on their own. Harrison County Sheriff Department assisted in shutting down Railroad St at East Main St and Unit 35 shut down Short St at South Streetcar Way. Anmoore EMS Ambulance 19 was requested for standby for this Haz-Mat incident and a staging area was established between DCs General Store and the Post Office. Mount Clare Engine 51 was alerted to the staging area to standby to handle other alarms. Southern States off loaded 252 gallons of propane and the scene was turned over to Southern States to let the remaining v***r release from the tank. Crews operated for over just 2 hours.

There will be an odor of propane in the area at the end of Railroad Street along with a haze as a result of the propane leak that has been handled. Virginia Ave Short St and South Streetcar Way may be able to smell the propane. Southern States advised this is due to remaining v***r pressure being released. There is no hazard to the public as a result of this. All evacuated residents can return home. Incident has been turned over to Southern States.
