This past Tuesday for weekly drill, Marcellus firefighters trained in hose line advancement, search and forcible entry. Crews were dispatched to multiple mock incidents, forced entry through the front door, then split into teams advancing hand lines into the structure and searching for “victims.”

Yesterday evening at 23:43, Marcellus was dispatched to the Jordan Fire District in the area of Whiting Road and Jordan Road for a large outdoor fire. Marcellus Car 1 (Chief Rothery) and Squad 2 (Asst. Chief Mayers) responded with the UTV.

Sq- 2’s crew utilized the UTV with the brush fire skid unit and worked with firefighters from Jordan, Mottville, Warners-Memphis, Weedsport and Cato to extinguish a large outdoor fire and shuttle water. Crews faced challenges accessing the fire due to the terrain and long distance from the road. Crews operated on scene for over an hour, making multiple trips shuttling water with UTV’s.

Marcellus C-3 arrived 2 minutes after dispatch to find a light smoke condition with an active alarm and assisted the resident out of the apartment.

The cause was determined to be burned food and Marcellus C-2 held with Ladder 33 only. L-33’s crew checked for extension, which was negative, and ventilated the apartment. Marcellus Ambulance was requested to treat the resident for smoke inhalation.
