July 18, 2026

Just after 2 in the morning LCDES sent out the 32 box for a reported barn fire.

Deputy 32 went responding with the additional of caller reporting fire through the roof of a barn. Deputy 32 arrived to find a 30x100 equipment shed well off and established the Stracksdam Rd. Command.

Engine 32 arrived laying in from a hydrant at the dispatched intersection and in to the D Side of the structure while W31 picked up the hydrant. Crews initially had hydrant issues prompting water supply to switch to a nurse tanker operation with PT32 and BT28 along with BE28 establishing a fill site. Although this was brief as the issue was quickly resolved and crews never ran out of water. E31, BTK47 and SO33 crews all reported to E32 and assisted with suppression and overhaul. Crews placed three 1 3/4 lines and a 2 1/2 line in service to quickly extinguish all visible fire with TW48 putting their master stream in service to finish the job.

Fire crews remained on scene for just over two hours mopping up.

Units: E32, PT32
 
Mutual Aid: W31, E31, BE28, TW48, BTK47, PT30, T30, BT28, SO33
