Not long after, units arrived on the scene and reported smoke showing and a fire in a house trailer. Under the command of Chief of Department Erron Kinney [Chief 101], the crew of [Squad 103] forced entry into the trailer and suppression efforts commenced. Members were faced with a few obstacles, such as a rotted floor throughout, and a poorly functioning hydrant system, but they were able to overcome them to extinguish the fire. Assistant Chief Jamie Luffman [Chief 102] not only acted as the accountability officer, but he also coordinated the mutual aid efforts coming to the scene and to cover the city. WEMA [Engine 31] and a medic unit were on scene, and an engine from Lebanon covered the city. The cause and origin of the fire is under investigation by Fire Marshal Dwayne Hicks [Chief 104].
