LINCOLN COUNTY - On Friday,
February 16 at 1201 hours, Pumpkin Center and Denver Fire were

arrived to find an abandoned house fully involved. Due to limited
access to the house as well as no water supply nearby, Boger City
was added to the call. Engine 112 was the only unit able to make it
to the structure so LDH was laid and a water shuttle established.
Crews placed several hose lines in operation and the fire was
brought under control by members from all three departments. Units
responding: Pumpkin Center E110, E112, S116, T117; Denver E14, E12,
