THURSDAY AUGUST 17, 2006 – At 11:30am, LTFD Truck 66 was dispatched for a truck company transfer to Columbia Station 8-1.

While enroute to the transfer, county dispatch alerted Truck 66 to respond to the scene per command 8.

Once on the scene the crew reported to manpower staging.

For the next 3 hours the crew assisted with opening up the walls of one of the buildings by cutting large holes in the exterior, pulling off the siding and wooden boards, extinguishing the fire in that same building using a handline and overhaul of the still burning debris.

During the investigation it was determined that the fire was actually in a multiple storage shed built into a culvert which had a depth of 25 to 30 feet.
