π₯ Outside Fire Response π₯
At approximately 1703 hrs, the Medford Fire Department was activated for a reported outside fire in the area of Horseblock Road and Fairmont Avenue.
First arriving units were met with a heavy fire load involving multiple sheds, a boat, and a large area of brush. Crews worked quickly and efficiently to stretch and place 5 attack lines into operation to prevent any additional fire spread and bring the incident under control.
Mutual aid was requested from the Holtsville, Farmingville, and Coram Fire Departments for additional engine crews to the scene. The Patchogue Fire Department provided an engine crew to stand by in Medford and handle any additional alarms within the district.
Outstanding teamwork and coordination by all departments involved. Great job by everyone operating on scene! π
