A Hotel Pack is used to advance hose lines up multi-story structures such as hotels and apartment complexes during a fire. We appreciate the management staff at Paseo Villas Apartments for allowing us to conduct our training at their facility. Highlights of Incidents B-Shift Conducting Hotel Pack Training at Paseo Villas Apartments Vehicle Accident Highway 120 Firefighters responded to the report of a vehicle accident on eastbound Highway 120 west of Union Road on Friday afternoon. Upon arrival, firefighters found a single vehicle off the right hand shoulder. Firefighters conducted a hazardous materials assessment and began patent assessment. It appeared the vehicle had been traveling westbound when it crossed the center divide, crossed both eastbound lanes, and went off on the south shoulder on the eastbound side. One patient was transported to a local hospital with injuries. Vehicle Accident North Vasconcellos Avenue Firefighters were dispatched to the report of a vehicle accident on North Vasconcellos Avenue Friday evening. Upon arrival, firefighters found a vehicle resting on its roof in the roadway with one patient trapped in the vehicle. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to extricate the patient through the rear passenger door. One patient was transported to a local hospital with injuries. Fire North Main Street Firefighters responded to the report of a fire on North Main Street late Wednesday night. Upon arrival, firefighters found a dumpster fully engulfed by fire. Firefighters pulled a hose line to extinguish the fire quickly. Since the fire was so close to a commercial structure, the heat generated by the fire had activated a sprinkler head. A fast acting employee managed to push the dumpster away from the building before firefighters arrived on scene; this likely prevented the fire from extending to the structure which surely would have resulted in significant damages. Firefighters secured the sprinkler head and the fire loss in this incident was limited to the dumpster lids estimated at $200.
