Had a bad grass fire yesterday. Since we are a volunteer department, we were lucky that the fire happened at the time of day that it did. When it was first called out. I was the only one to respond. After I got to the fire and hosed it down using our brush truck I was able to get it under control and as luck would have it, I ran out of water JUST as our pumper arrived ( another member heard me talking to SO telling them I was I R to the scene). He had just gotten off work when he heard me telling SO I was IR to the fire. Wanna talk about perfect timing. We mamged to make sure that everything was well out before we left. The fire started when the guy was trying to burn some leaves and the wind( which was blowing strong) picked up and sent embers and sparks flying into other leaves not being burned. Well you can imagine what happened then.
the race was on. But alls well that ends well.
BE SAFE EVERYONE
