Once Engine 29 had been on scene they advised control that they had a large working brush/hay fire. Engine 29 requested Ladder 29 for there manpower due to the large size of the fire. After attacking the fire with two hand lines the decision was made to use the deck gun due to its high pressure capabilities and to give the firefighters a break. |
