December
20, 2005 - At
1305 hrs, Engine and Tower 501 responded on the mutual
box for a reported explosion at 7415 Peppertree Lane, in
the Yorkshire section of Prince William County. On
arrival, Engine 508 found an active gas fed fire. Engine
501 arrived and picked up 508's line. Crews from both
companies operated hose lines to extinguish involved
debris and cool the piles while awaiting the arrival of
the gas company. It appeared that during demolition of
this particular trailer, the contractor struck the still
active gas line to the home, causing an explosion. This
was the same trailer that burned in September of 2005.
The Tower cleared quickly and the Engine went ready at
1444 hrs. |
