Busy Day in the West End

Some severe thunderstorms rolled thru the area on thursday afternoon causing several incidents in th West End. Station 43 along with some help from Stations 35 and 39 handled 3 simultaneous car accidents, two auto alarms, and two seperate buildings struck by lighting- the McDonalds and KFC/Taco Bell.
While celaring from one of the auto alarms, Station 43 was toned out to a reported working barn fire with flames showing. 43-7 was on scene in less then a minute and found an approx 60X200 barn well off. He quickly added Stations 35 and 39 to the response and called for a Tankler Task Force as well as a tanker from Carbon County Dist. 9.
Our two new trucks were used throughout this call and the new CAFS system worked great.

EMS Stations 8 and 18 were on hand to help with rehab as well as the Salvation Army mobile cantee. They all did a great job on this hot day. There were no injuries.
