Fully Involved Dumpster Fire in the First Due

Company 76 was distpatched to a reported dumpster fire on Links Avenue a little before midnight on Monday the 11th. Deputy 76 arrived reporting a fully involved dumpster up against the building. Engine 76-2 responded with 5, follwed by the Tanker, and then Squad 76-1 with additional manpower. Once the Engine arrived crews pulled a line and began to fight the fire, while protecting the building. The Tanker arrived and supplied Engine 2 with additional water. Once the fire was put under control crews set up fans to remove the smoke from the building and thoroughly soaked the dumpster. Deputy Ney placed the box available just before 01:00hrs.
