July 17,
2005 - This Sunday at 1515 hrs, volunteers from
Manassas responded with
Tower and Chief 501 to assist Company 511 with a large
outside fire near the intersection of Balls Ford Road
and Prince William Parkway. On arrival, crews found an
approximately 100 x 100 pile of tree stumps, mulch, and
trash that was on fire. For the next 5 hrs, Tower 501
flowed water on the pile while crews from an assortment
of companies operated multiple handlines on the pile.
The equivalent of two Tanker Taskforces were sounded and
Quint 504 was special called to the scene so that
another ladder pipe could be placed in service.
Battalion 501 (Chief Byrd) had command while Chief 501
(Holman) had division 1. During the
incident, Wagon 501, staffed by volunteers, filled
station 511 and the volunteers maintained another engine
company back at quarters. Both the Wagon and the Engine
ran a number of calls during the time of the transfer.
Tower 501 cleared at 2003 hrs.
Companies on the run: W511, E511, W505, W515, W507,
E507, T501, Q504, BX504, Tankers 515, 505, 516,
