Yesterday Afternoon at 1415 hours Taskforce Alpha was dispatched to Waterford Township for 5” Supply Line to provide a water supply for a deep seated mulch fire. Engine 842 originally responded with a crew 3 and was met by one of our support vehicles which brought extra manpower. The engine crew laid approximately 900 feet of 5” supply hose to relay water from different engines what was being drafted from the Atco Lake.
Engine 842 pumped as a relay engine for 14 hours before a relief engine came in and took its place. In all 3 separate crews from Station 84 traveled to the scene to relieve the previous crew. Engine 842 cleared the fire ground at approximately 0445hours.
