Truck Co. 2 and Ladder Co. 1 Take In Lakeside Fire

On 10-12-04 volunteers from MCFD Stations 1 & 2 were activated to respond mutual aid to Lakeside Fire District on a signal 99.  Lakeside command special called Truck 2 to the scene and requested Ladder 1 on a coverage move-up to Lakeside Station 2.  Lakeside command was confronted with a fire in a two story wood frame duplex, with hazards due to a live secondary power line to the structure.  Initial attack was delayed until the power was secured by Niagara Mohawk.  As Ladder 1 was arriving for the coverage move-up, it too was special called into the scene.

Crews from both specialty pieces performed salvage and overhaul for aprox. half and hour, until released by Lakeside command.  All MCFD units were back in service by 1500.

BC Chura and various MCFD crews stood by in-house during the incident.
