Two engines on scene are available for calls, on a 2-minute delay.
Thanks to Larry Huntington for fighting the fire and sharing his video! He had this to say: A big thanks to Joe and Sean from Johnson Paving who saw the fire on the hill and raced their water truck to a nearby hydrant and got on scene when I did to help prevent the fire from growing much larger. And of course a huge thanks to all the fire response teams! ~Larry
