Tanker & Engine 1 Assist Station 7-9 on a Barn Fire

On Tuesday the 12th around 17:00hrs station 7-9 was alerted for a reported Barn Fire on Colebrook Rd. Before the responding Chief's arrived on-scene they could see a working fire from 1/2 mile out and asked for the 2nd alarm Tankers to be dispatched. This sent Tanker 76 to the scene where they supplied Truck 75 for the ariel master stream. A little bit later Command requested more Engines which brought Engine 76-1 to the scene. Once arriving the crew split up sending half to manpower staging while the other half stayed with the Engine to assist with the 5 inch. Engine 1 dropped 1000ft of 5 inch from Tanker 76 to Colebrook Rd & Donegal Springs Rd and set up a dump site. While supplying the Tanker and Truck 75m Engine 76-1 pumped 29,000 gallons of water before opperations were ended and the Engine was released by Command.
