Engines Runs Out of Water 1st, then Fuel - WOW!

     

Thursday, May 20, 2010 We responded on a mutual aid house fire with a neighboring county. They were understaffed as they pulled up to a 1 story woodframe with working fire. Just prior to our tanker arriving they ran out of water. Before we could charge their supply line their engine ran out of fuel. Then their generator ran out of gas. All crews had to be pull out briefly so out tanker could take over primary duties as well as another mutual aid engine company.

LESSONS LEARNED: Truck checks truck checks truck checks. And every driver/officer should be prepared for the unexpected and be ready to adapt to any situation without hesitation.
