Engine 502 Assists 58 with 2 Alarm Wood Pallet Shop Fire *Helmet Cam*

Описание: Engine 502 assisting Station 58 (Rawlinsville) with a 2 Alarm wood pallet shop fire. Initial units were sent for a trash fire. While operating, the fire grew too intense for the units on scene and engulfed a large supply of pallets and a nearby building. Several firetrucks and many sections of hose were damaged as they attempted to move further back. The growing blaze caught powerlines on fire which dropped down on the side of the road limiting access. The extreme heat also caused the road bank on the opposite side of the street to catch fire. Engine 502's crew deployed several lines including 2 connected crosslays, and a 400 foot line. Other crews assisted with stretching a 2.5 blitzfire line off the rear of the Engine. The Engine also supplied Tanker 58 who was empty. Once crews found a safe way to get around the powerlines, the crews were able to attack the fire and stop it from spreading to the adjacent building. Pictures of the incident are included at the end. Willow Street Fire Company. Taken 4/16/24

Engine 502 is a 2010 Pierce Arrow XT
