Firefighting: Ohio Tanker Operations

Cincinnati Fire Apparatus – Whitewater Township (OH) Fire Department responded early morning on 6/18/18 to the report of smoke in the area of Sand Run Road in western Hamilton County. 

They arrived to find a residence fully involved forcing the crews to fight the fire defensively. 

It was a very logistically challenging operation – water had to be brought in by tanker shuttle, and 2 relay engines (Harrison Twp E57 & Greendale E310) were needed to get the 5″ supply line to the fire. 

Departments were on scene from Ohio and Indiana: Whitewater Township (OH) – E95, E105 Colerain Township (OH) – E103, WT26, D25 Crosby Township – WT28 Delhi Township (OH) – E30 Green Township (OH) – E54, D53 Harrison Township (OH) – E57, M57 Miami Township (OH) – E68, E69 Reily Township (OH) – WT132 Ross Township (OH) – WT101 Aurora (IN) – E526, WT527, REHAB 520 Bright (IN) – Q81 Greendale (IN) – E310 Lawrenceburg (IN) – BR412, BR446 Miller-York (IN) – WT230 New Trenton (IN) – WT44
