Attached is a photo that was taken during a fire in a tobacco dyer in our first due area. Crews arrived to find smoke showing from the dryer and the ventilation system. A water supply was established and all crews were in place prior to opening the dryer. The ISO ensured all firefighters were briefed on what could happen when the door was opened and all units were on air with all PPE in place. The door was opened and the fire was extinguished shortly after the door was opened. The operation resulted in no firefighters injured and everyone went home in the same condition they arrived.
Mason County Fire District 4 was assisted by Mason County Fire District 5 in this picture. Mason County is located in western Washington at the South end of the Puget Sound.
