Here is an
overview of significant events from this period’s activities:
Sunday,
January 6 at approximately 2:39 pm:
All BFR
units were dispatched on a report of an oven fire. While enroute,
responding units were advised by dispatch that the fire had been
extinguished. All units reduced to a non-emergency response with the
exception of E2. Upon arrival E2 found no fire but that the exhaust
fan switch in the hood vent had melted due to high heat. Power to the
range was disconnected, and with no other hazards found, all units
were cleared from the scene.
Monday,
January 7 at approximately 1:27 pm:
E1
was dispatched on a report of a vehicle fire. This incident occurred on Hillsboro Road near the city limits and bordering Davidson County. Due to the location of
the call and E1 being at training, mutual aid was requested from both
Nashville Fire and Williamson County Rescue Squad. E1 arrived first
on scene and found one vehicle with the engine compartment fully
involved with fire. While E1’s crew was extinguishing, the mutual
aid units arrived on scene and provided manpower. The vehicle was
extinguished, and with no further hazards found, all units from all
agencies cleared the scene and returned to quarters.
