If your house or business catches on fire, or your car crashes and you're trapped in it, that's 17 people who can't respond to help you and your family out. That's the down side to it and that's the sad part to it. |
It's been across the city and across the board. We've had fires in every range of home. |
The guys went inside, and they made it about ten or 15 feet inside before they were basically surrounded by fire. |
The opportunity for fire to spread is immense down here. |
There's cost involved there. There's labor hours, maintenance, wear and tear on the machines, there's fuel costs that's involved and that's every call whether it's an actual emergency or a false call. |
We actually laid eighteen hundred feet of water into the fire scene. We had to put two fire trucks in between the hydrant here at the end of Apache and the fire to relay the water in, something that is rarely done in Savannah. |
