Upon arrival it was evident that more manpower was going to be needed as the fire was working its way towards the woods. Firefighters responded with Units #26 and # 27. Once on scene crews with water packs and brooms began attacking the fire from the east.
Shortly after containing the fire another page was sounded for a grass fire at civic #180 Highway 340 in Hebron. Platoon Chief Steve Jeffery requested that the crew of Unit 27 remain at the Small Gains Road to clear up any hot spots while Unit #26 and Engine #2 immediately responded to Hebron. Once on scene firefighters, using brooms, were quick put out the fire. \"Yup! A sure sign that SPRING HAS SPRUNG.
