Well we have had a bit of colder weather recently and a few house fires to keep us a bit busy…as I was driving home this morning from work, my pager started talking about fifteen miles out of town…my department was fighting a cabin on fire at the east edge of our district so I stopped by and took a few photos on my way home….when I walked up, I found the cabin on the ground and Bill Windham on the hoseline….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And then we had one just last week a few blocks from my house…discovered by our new waste hauler, Swinger Sanitation of Cuba, who were coming by on their normal pickup route and found the east wall on fire….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"854<\/a><\/p>\n

Pumper 854 arriving and flames in window by chimney…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Gary<\/a><\/p>\n

Gary and Nolan unraveling the hose load and getting ready to enter…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Smoke<\/a><\/p>\n
