Firefighters battle hay fire

CH411, E419, T417, G412, G414 were dispatched at 11:48am on Saturday morning to the 19000 block of Ankneytown Road on the report of a trailer load of hay on fire.

Upon arrival of CH411 the trailer of hay was off the roadway and unhooked from the truck. Unburned hay was being removed by hand.

Firefighters stretched the 1 3/4″ line from the bumper of E419 for suppression and crews used hand tools to tear apart bales. A draft site was setup nearby at Knox lake for water supply.

A total of nine firefighters and one cadet responded to the call. All FCFD crews were back in quarters by 1:39pm.
