the structure to get a knock, then quickly switched to a 2 1/2" handline

command having Company 41 establish a fill site for tankers from
a stream on Route 170 while Mini-pumper 94 handled the dump site duties.

assigned water supply duties. Fire Marshal E. Obelenus assumed
the safety officer role. Safety and Training Chief J. Obelenus coordinated

the vehicles inside. Three individuals (civilians) were burned as they
tried to control the quickly spreading fire before the fire department's
arrival. They were treated by EMS on the scene declining transportation
of a hospital.Crews worked for about 90 minutes before returning to service.
