BARNWELL – The M.D. of Taber Regional Fire Service had an early start to their morning on Tuesday, Jan. 22.
Around 4:10 a.m. Station 4 and Station 7 responded to a structure fire near 229 8th Avenue West in Barnwell, with five trucks and 17 firefighters in total attending the scene.
Engine 7-3 arrived on scene first and found heavy smoke coming from a 24’ x 50’ shop. Within minutes the crew established a water supply from a nearby hydrant, conducted a 360-degree survey of the scene, disconnected the gas utility, extended an attack line to a man door, effected a forcible entry and initiated an aggressive interior attack.
When Engine 4-2 arrived at the scene minutes later, they extended a second interior attack team and established a Rapid Intervention Team that was prepared to back up the Engine 7-3 and Engine 4-2 attack teams in the structure.
