Tuesday, June 28, 2011  Members of the fire company had just returned to station from attending the Pioneer Fire Co’s. Open House.  Everyone enjoyed the ice cream and hot dogs.  About 15 minutes after backing the apparatus into station, we were dispatched to a Class 1 vehicle accident involving a horse and buggy.  23  firefighters and 8 fire police responded within 1 ½ minutes of the dispatch.  Chief 1-6 arrived to find an SUV had hit the buggy breaking a wheel.  Fortunately, no one in the family in the buggy were injured and the assignment was downgraded to E-1-6-2 only.   Other responding units were Ambulance 1-12-1, Medic 12 and Clay Twp. Police.  

Sunday, June 26, 2011  At 2:20 am, Engine 1-6-1, Rescue 1-6 and Traffic 1-6 were dispatched for a class 1 vehicle accident with Brickerville Ambulance and Medic 4.  A car crashed into a stone wall with heavy front end damage, but the driver was able to get out prior to arrival.  Personnel assisted EMS, provided lighting and scene clean-up.  Fire Police maintained a single lane of traffic during the incident. 

Wednesday, June 22, 2011  Engine 1-6-1,  Rescue 1-6 and Traffic 1-6, along with 21 members, assisted the Pioneer Fire Co. with a tractor trailer load of sawdust on fire in front of Applebee’s.  The Squrt on E-1-6-1 was  used to fight the smoldering fire, along with 2 handlines off of E-1-5-1.  Lincoln personnel assisted with suppression, along with filling air bottles on this very hot afternoon.  Fire Police assisted with detouring traffic.
