Newell responded with Robinson and Harrisburg to
Snowflake Drive for a reported house fire. Units arrived
to find heavy fire through the roof of a 2 story house.
Several handlines were put into service on the second
floor and in the attic. Fire attack efforts were
hampered by a limited water supply and manpower
shortage. Newell personnel stayed on scene for several
hours for overhaul, salvage, and to secure over 2000' of
hose.
