Monday, November 5, 2018

At 0256 hours on Monday, November 5, Station 23 was alerted for an engine company cover to Station 24 (Odessa). Squad 23 made the response with four personnel, and upon arrival command requested the fifth alarm be transmitted. The Squad responded as the first engine on the fifth alarm to Willey Farms in the 4000 block of DuPont Parkway, and upon arrival the crew was placed in the manpower pool while the apparatus was utilized for water supply operations. As more tankers arrived, the Squad was no longer needed for water supply, and the crew was placed inservice providing interior fire suppression. Squad 23 operated for nearly 6 hours before returning to Newport, and the company responded to 5 additional calls on the day.
