It was declared an " Intentional " Burn by District 3 afterward.....
As a public service, and also for training purposes, Station 3 participates in controlled burns for the public. Most of these burns are structures of some type- houses, barns, etc. Here's a barn that Station 3 lit up in April 2002. Special thanks to photographer Ralph Gorrell of Henderson County Rescue for the pics.

Boeing 747's flying over were in danger.....
Station 3 firefighters Little Blake, Steven, Bruce, Heather, Jesse, Lt Jeff, Lt Ernie all did a terrific job. It was a good learning experience for us and proved that Station 3 won't back down and never ever gives up. Great job everyone ! |
