Working Fire Brights Rd.
12/28/06 – At 9:00 Hrs. Gretna (St. 22) and Hurt (St. 31) were dispatched to a structure fire
on Brights Rd. After dispatch advised Chief 22 that Bedford county dispatch had
received many calls for the same fire, 3rd and 4th due departments were requested. E-223 arrived to find
smoke showing from the roof, on the A, B, and D sides, of a double wide mobile home. Chief 22
established command and noticed flashover conditions and stopped the attack crew from
entering until precautions were made. Once ready the attack crew entered the structure and
found a large amount of fire in the living room. Upon arrival of additional apparatus and man power,
the roof was opened up and water supply was established at a near by pond. After a long overhaul with
many hot spots found, crews cleared the scene 3 hours after dispatch. Units and departments
on scene: Gretna; E-223 w/6, E-222 w/3, R-228 w/2, T-226, Hurt; E-312 w/5, E-316 w/3, T-313,
