Monday, May 19 at approximately 5:53 am:
E3 and C3 were dispatched on an
automatic aid call for a possible commercial structure fire in Franklin. Initial dispatch information indicated smoke
and the smell of something burning were present inside the structure. E3 arrived on scene to find a single story
commercial structure with no smoke or flames visible. BFR personnel were instructed to assist with
investigation of the interior of the structure.
Crew members searched the interior for any signs of fire using the
thermal imaging camera. After further
investigation the cause of the smell was found to be a malfunctioning HVAC
unit. Once all hazards had been
addressed, command released E3 and C3 from the scene.
Friday, May 23 at approximately 3:32 pm:
E11 and C3 were dispatched on a
mutual aid call in Arrington VFD’s district.
Initial dispatch information indicated that Nolensville VFD and
Arrington VFD personnel were working to extinguish a fully involved track hoe.
E11 was requested to respond to the scene because of its onboard compressed air
foam system (CAFS). Due to its small
size E11 was able to make access to the scene and extinguish the fire using the
CAFS. Once the fire was extinguished E11
and C3 were released from the scene and returned to quarters.
