EVENTS
September
2011
10 Sept – Boys start brush fire. A group of boys who were
“just playin’ around” with fire got more than they bargained for after starting
several small fires. The last one got away from them and began spreading into
the woods faster than they could put water on it. The fire was quickly
extinguished by the fire department and the boys were turned over to some very
irate parents.
11 Sept – Firefighters lay wreath at 9/11 memorial. Lives
lost were not forgotten on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. HNFD
members presented a wreath in their honor during the ceremony held at Navarre High School.
14 Sept – Smoke fills The Courtyard. A routine fire alarm
turned out to be much more. When crews from Midway FD arrived at the assisted
living facility they were met with smoke coming from the building. The fire
started in a commercial dryer in the laundry room and was contained there, but
smoke filled the building. Over 50 residents were safely evacuated. 5 fire
departments, including Holley-Navarre, assisted at the scene.
24 Sept – Dryer fire smokes up house. A small fire in
the laundry room of a Jeannie St
home damaged the clothes dryer. The fire made a lot of smoke but otherwise did
little damage. Excessive lint build up and heat from the motor caused the fire.
For this month HNFD was called for 220
emergencies. These calls included 3 reported house fires, 3 grass/ brush fires,
1 vehicle fire, 144 medical calls, 29 motor vehicle crashes, 8 residential/
commercial fire alarms, 2 illegal burns/ trash fires, 1 smoke investigation, 7
public assists, 4 wires/ electrical issues, 1 fuel spill, 1 natural gas leak and
16 out of district responses.
