INCIDENT ONE
A house fire off of South Blackstock began on a porch area. Quick response and the assistance of the homeowner limited the damage only to the porch.
INCIDENT TWO
While at lunch, members of C-Shift noticed black smoke coming from the rear area of a nearby residence. Fire fighter Scott Tompkins investigated and found that a lawnmower caught fire and was burning up the side of the house and on to a Corvette. Five residents were unaware that the structure was on fire, but Tompkins’ quick action successfully removed them from the structure. The crew stopped the flames as they were getting into the home through the eaves and a bathroom window. No one was injured, and damage was minor. Campobello and Gowensville Fire Departments assisted in the call. Captain Tidwell, FF Tompkins, and FF Justice quickly used the Compressed Air Foam unit to suppress the flames. Responding units assisted with water management for cool down.
INCIDENT THREE
Polk Equine Emergency Rescue (PEER) requested that the Landrum Area Fire and Rescue District assist them, the Campobello Fire Department, and the Inman Community Fire Department in the removal of a horse from a septic tank in Campobello. The horse was safely removed and was unharmed.
