20181208 - City of Mount Juliet - Structure Fire
810 Nonaville Road - Just after 7:45AM, 911 and Mount Juliet Police & Fire Communications began receiving calls reporting smoke off Nonaville Road in the area of the Windtree Golf Course. Middle Tennessee Electric also got an automated notification that the electric service meter for the clubhouse at the former golf course had stopped running.
Police and Firefighters were dispatched to the location and smoke could be seen from quite some distance off. For this reason, Assistant Chief Shawn Donovan [Chief-103] instructed dispatchers to implement the "Working Fire Protocol' which would make notifications to the Wilson County Emergency Management Agency to dispatch an ambulance and Rehab-23 to the scene as well as provide mutual aid fire coverage for the city, and Middle Tennessee Electric and Piedmont Gas to send emergency response units to secure utilities, as well as some additional dispatch procedures.
First arriving units were an officer from the Mount Juliet Police Department and Assistant Chief Donovan who both reported that the clubhouse on the grounds of the former golf course was 100% involved and had fallen in upon itself.
Squad-103 (C Shift), under the command of Acting Lieutenant Andy Hassler [1103] was first due. The nearest hydrant to the structure was in the parking lot, but was apparently inoperable. The next nearest hydrant was across the street from the entrance to the golf course at the end of a very long driveway.
Engine-104, Ladder-111, Tower-114, Chief-101, Chief-102 were all responding to the scene as well. The aerials arrived and were going to set up to flow master streams, but due to the lack of a viable water supply, that plan was put on hold.,
A tanker was requested to respond from the Wilson county Emergency Management Agency to assist in water supply efforts. Tanker-91 responded to the scene and made multiple water shuttles bringing 1,500 gallons at a time to the scene.
Engine-104 was able to supply Ladder-111 with its onboard tank and then the shuttled water, which allowed for the ladder pipe to be used to hit most of the hot spots and knock down the main body of fire.
The Wilson County Emergency Services Rehab Association [Rehab-23] responded to the scene and provided on scene support and shelter from the cold.
Units wrapped up and cleared the scene at approximately 11:15AM, leaving the fire to smolder and eventually burn itself out.
The cause of the fire is unknown and remains under investigation. There were no injuries to firefighters or civilians as a result of this incident.
