Engine 5-13-1 (FF R. Nolt W/5), Engine 5-13-3 (FF Petersheim W/5), Rescue 5-13 (Lt. Stoltzfus W/6), and Tanker 5-13 (FF. Heidinger W/2) all made the response within minutes after dispatch.

Once on scene, Engine 5-13-1 was instructed to supply Union Fire Company Engine 21-1 and Community Fire Company of Rising Sun Engine 813 while drafting from Tanker 21 while its crew was sent to the manpower pool. Tanker 5-13 was instructed to transfer its load of water into Tanker 21 then head out to a fill site to get reloaded. Rescue 5-13’s crew was sent to the manpower pool also while Engine 3’s crew was directed to set up a draft site at Herr’s Angus Farm off of Stoney Lane to fill tankers.

All 5-13 crews spent the next 8 1/2 hours working with crews from the tri-state area to extinguish this stubborn fire.

The last 5-13 units cleared from the scene at 1:05 AM.

A special thank you goes out to Rawlinsville Volunteer Fire Company Tanker 5-8 and the members who responded down to cover our area while we were out.
