Engine 62 was in the shops. <br /> While we were en route 601 arrived on scene and assumed command. I recall hearing about a 6,000 gallon fuel tank was <br /> involved or next to the fire.On scene 601 advised us to drive past the incident to hit a hydrant.We passed the scene <br /> looking for a hydrant.Once I realized that we had drove longer than we had supply line we turned around. Face to face <br /> with 601 we decided to hit the fire with a master stream in a defensive mode.The fire was burning in a container that had <br /> two generators and fuel inside of it.This container was in close proximity to the 6,000 gallon fuel tank(<than 15). Engine <br /> 63 was placed and the master stream was set up and we began flowing water on the fuel tank to cool it down.We were <br /> effective in cooling the tank and also knocking down a portion of the fire.At that time I worked with FF Edelson on <br /> developing strategy and tactics to attack the fire.Crews used two 1 3/4"hand lines to knock down the fire and turn off the <br /> valves from the diesel tank to the generator. No injuries or accidents reported. <br /> 615 <br /> NARRATIVE(4) <br /> Narrative Title:Chief <br /> Narrative Author: Balentine, Rick <br /> Narrative Date: 05/21/2021 10:42:16 <br /> Narrative Apparatus ID: 601 <br /> Narrative: <br /> AFD paged out to report of structure fire at Elam Gravel Pit. Upon arrival at entrance I was flagged down by Elam <br /> employee who accompanied me to the fire scene along with Pitkin County Deputy 68 following. During conversation with <br /> employee, I don't recall name, it was my perception that the fire burning included the tires on a 6000 gal.fuel trailer which <br /> was identified as diesel fuel.With this info I asked dispatch to do an AFD all hands page and to also do a mutual aid page <br /> from RFFR Station 45 and it was decided to begin a defensive attack and cool down the tank from a safe distance with <br /> deck gun from E-63 while we established a water supply and was able to get more intel on fire. Upon further investigation <br /> by Cpt.Spaulding it was determined that the fuel trailer was not on fire,yet the adjacent generator structurer/trailer to the <br /> west was heavily involved threatening to impinge and ignite the fuel trailer. Fire attack crews were able to shut the fuel <br /> supply to the generator trailer fueling the fire thus slowing down the spread and intensity of the fire until it could be fully <br /> extinguished by the hand crews. 601 called Pitkin County Operations director 03 to assist with initial fire investigation <br /> additionally AFD Interim Fire Marshal Jan Legersky also investigated the scene.AFD was assisted by Aspen Ambulance, <br /> Roaring Fork Fire and the Pitkin County Sheriffs Office in bring the situation under control. No injuries were reported. <br /> https://secure.emergencyreporting.com/nfirs/print.asp?printtype=2&printtype=3&printtype=4&printtype=5&printtyperadio=5b&printOption=l&printOptio... 2/9 <br />
