"Breaking Scanner News" For May 2008

Pendleton requesting, mutal aid from Adam Twd. "Stand by at our station."

This fire sounds big "Flames are now jumping, to another area" Brockway Glass

Signal 40 Brockway Glass

What is signal 40?

"We" were called to Brockway Glass several years ago. In the area where they melt the glass they had a problem. The Brockway people are OUTSTANDING. "IF" they lost control of the fire the whole area would catch on fire with molten glass. "WE" were on stand by just in case that took place. When we arrived I thought we were in for a real working fire, with all the smoke from the structure. This sounded  like it happened again.

"Where there is smoke,,, there is unemployment"

Good job to all involived on this one today

Fire is out.

So how bad was the fire at american playground?

I couldnt really tell driving down MLK.

Signal 40 "Fire is Out",,,, at dispatch a time card is stamped when they call signal 40, Three years from today "IF" someone questioned how long it took to fight the fire,,, all they have to do is go back and check the time stamps on the dispatch cards. They can see when the fire came in, what time the trucks were dispatched, and  arrived.

I could see burn marks on the side of the building but that was it. Couldnt tell if it was gutted or not.

Sounds like it was in the compressor area with diesel fuel involved. Lapel was asking for foam from Pendleton.  I talked to friend of mine working their right now.  There was three compressors in that area.  He said about 100 feet from a building.  They did not stop work.
