Engine 11 Goes Mutual Aid to BCSFD

At 1317 hrs. on Tuesday July 13, 2004 the Belgium Cold Springs and Liverpool Fire Departments were dispatched to a reported garage fire at 3550 Patchett Rd. in the Belgium Cold Springs Fire District. Shortly after dispatch, Belgium Station #1 reported heavy black smoke in the area. They requested an engine company from Moyers Corners Fire Department and a rescue company from Baldwinsville Fire Department. Moyers Corners Engine 11 (Capt. Kenyon) responded within minutes. While E-11 was enroute, Belgium Car-1 arrived and reported a Sig-98 garage fire well involved.

Upon arrival E-11's crew laid a supply line and deployed a 2 1/2" attack line to the unattached garage. The fire was impinging on a nearby house, where the siding was beginning to melt off. Belgium firefighters deployed a second hand-line off of MCFD E-11 to assist with fire suppression. Liverpool E-5 responded to the scene to assist with manpower. Moyers Corners E-11 operated for about an hour and a half before returning to service.
