1 minute after midnight, Big Tree and Blasdell were alerted along with the all call tone for multiple agencies in the Town of Hamburg to a reported structure fire at EJ Prescott, Newton Abbott 9 and their rescue 3 were out on the road previously for an auto accident on the thruway. Newton Abbott 9 arrived on scene and reported the fire to be located at Lardon Construction Corp, reported it to be a massive wood chip/mulch pile fully involved, then later realizing it was multiple piles. Big Tree 1 and Woodlawn 6 arrived on scene while Woodlawn 6 got into place and set up for aerial operations, Big Tree 1 preformed a reverse lay and ran a LDH (Large Diameter Hose) feed from Woodlawn 6 out to the hydrant to supply water. Aerial Operations were performed from Woodlawn and Scranton while multiple 1 3/4” lines were in place to prevent further spread to other piles, along with protection for the surrounding structure. Owners from Lardon were also on location working with command and fire companies to assist with wheel loaders, dozers and excavators to help disperse piles and wet down hotspots. Units were back in service within roughly 5 hours from the time of tones. ![]()
