RUSH ENGINE 3 VISITS THE STATE

BRUSH FIRE FROM WIRES DOWN WITH
REKINDLE
On Friday, April 15, at 12:42, Rush VFD
was dispatched for a brush fire endangering structures on SR 3004 in Auburn
Township. Rush Engine 4 responded with a crew of five and arrived on the scene
to find approximately one acre burning. Command informed all units to proceed
with caution as the fire had started from a downed electrical line that was
lying across the burning area. Utilizing forestry hose, units extinguished the
fire and remained on the scene until the power company arrived to turn off the
power. As Engine 4 was returning to service, we were dispatched for a rekindle
at the same location. Upon the second arrival, firefighters found that the
power company had not turned the power off before a small section of the area
that had already burned was reignited by the still live wire. Firefighters used
a pressurized water can and a bit of footwork to extinguish the second fire.
All units were placed safely back in service at 14:27.
Looking like its Big Brother
On Monday April 13th, Dan from Danz Lettering arrived
once again in Lawton to add his touch to Engine 3. After a couple days,
Engine 3 was completed. Once again, just like its big brother Tanker 5,
Engine 3 turned out great. Thanks Dan.
Worth the Time
On Tuesday April 7th, Dan from Danz Lettering arrived
in Lawton for the week to decorate Tanker 5. After many long days Dan
completed the tanker. We would like to thank Dan for all his hard work and
doing a superior job on the tanker, we are very pleased with the outcome.
Four Calls in Four Days
Four calls for service started late last week.
Thursday March 12th at 18:32 Rush Fire and Montrose EMS were dispatched for a
one van roll over near Deer Lick, 267S. Rescue 1 arrived on scene finding
the same. The patient was removed from the vehicle and transported by
Montrose EMS to a local hospital. All units cleared in just under an hour.
Just after 13:00 on Friday Rush Fire was dispatched for a grass fire, Pierson
Rd., Rush Twp. Rush 11 arrived on scene with the fire out, wetting down a
couple hot spots. Units cleared in 30 mins. On Saturday just before
15:00 Rush Fire and Forest Lake Fire were dispatched for a brush fire Hamlin
Rd., Forest Lake Twp. Rush units arrived on scene reporting the fire out,
have Forest Lake continue in and Rush to cancel. On Sunday, March 15th,
Rush Fire was requested for a brush truck by Elk Lake Fire for a brush fire
Hunsinger Rd., Dimock Twp. As the brush truck was responding, Elk Lake
fire cancelled Rush Fire.
Sunday Morning Training
On Sunday February 8th several members once again
went to the acquired structure for training. Once again several different
evolutions were conducted with the structure. We will be heading back very
