Vehicle Fire
By Safety Officer Brad Saunders
March 19, 2023
On March 19th at 619 AM, Hughesville Volunteers were alerted to Trail Mill Place for the outside fire. Engine 22 responded with six volunteers. While responding communications advised of an ATV/Golf Cart on fire with possible extension to the surrounding brush. Engine 22 arrived a short time later to find a Polaris UTV fully involved and the homeowner using a garden hose to contain the burning brush. Chief 5 (Benedict VFD) arrived in scene to assist. The crew from Engine 22 extinguished the fire and cleared the scene. The cause of the fire is believed to be from a small camp fire in a burn pit that was not fully extinguished the night before. Units operated for approximately 20 minutes.
