| Lomond Shores Lumber fire beside the house 05/14/09 |
| Kendall was dispatched for a pile of wood on fire next to the house at 16045 Lomond Shores at approximately 2:45 am. Kendall 6 upon arrival declared a fire next to the house in a lumber pile with 2 propane tanks and the house immediately exposed. Kendall 1 requested a full assignment from Kendall and cancelled all automatic mutual aid after determining the fire was burning it's self out and that it had not spread to the house. Kendall 34 took the front of the house and the front attack line was deployed. K-52 staged behind K-34 and K-33 staged at the closest hydrant about 200' away. The fire was extinguished and overhaul performed. The cause of the fire was paint and stain laden rags that had been disposed of in the plastic garbage can next to the lumber pile. The rags laden with stain had built heat and ignited with the other flammables in the can. All trucks and personnel were back in service at 4:00am. |
