SUBMITTED BY BATT CHIEF KEVIN GRIFFIN, WINSTON-SALEM FIRE DEPT
WINSTON-SALEM - Crews responded to a building fire at
Suburban Propane on North Liberty Street on Tuesday. Arriving
companies found heavy fire throughout a building containing numerous propane cylinders ranging in size from 20
to 250 pounds. Two 55 gallons drums of
Methanol were also inside. As operations were being set-up, the relief valves on several tanks
started operating and the methanol drums failed causing a large fireball
through the roof. A defensive operation was conducted, cooling the
tanks until all product was consumed. One 250 pound tank was removed
from the building and flared off by Haz-Mat personnel. Units remained on scene for
five hours. There were no
injuries. Responding companies: E4, E9, E12, T1, T3, Rescue 1,

SUBMITTED BY CHIEF DAIVE SUMMEY, CEDAR MOUNTAIN FIRE-RESCUE
TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY - On January
19, Cedar Mountain Volunteer Fire-Rescue responded automatic aid
with Little River Volunteer Fire Department to a confirmed structure fire on Cascade Lake Road.
At the bottom of a steep hill, the brakes on a Cedar Mountain
tanker apparently failed. The driver noticed the brakes were not
working as he approached a "T" intersection. He tried pumping
the brakes with no success. The driver then tried turning the
apparatus to the left into a parking lot for a produce stand.
The truck tipped and rolled three-quarters over and landed on
the driver's side. Both firefighters were transported, one by
ground and the other by air. Both were released, one with no
injuries and the other with only cuts to his head, back, and
right hand.
