2-alarm Brush Fire


August 13, 2007
Newell was requested to assist Charlotte Fire with a large brush and woods fire. Companies were responding to several smaller fires on I-85. Engine 15 arrived to find a large fire moving rapidly up an embankment and into the woods. The second alarm was transmitted just prior to a request for tankers form Mecklenburg and Cabarrus Counties. CFD companies responded from as far away as downtown due to another multiple alarm fire in Battalion 2. Newell Engine 3 responded and supplied water to Engine 22.
