Westarea Fire Department responded to a commercial fire at 401 Tire and Auto. When the first truck arrived on scene the building was fully involved. It took 11 Departments throughout Harnett and Cumberland County, about 65-75 personnel, and 29 Engines, Pumpers, and Tankers to get the fire under control and eventually extinguished. The building was a loss, but we can report that there was no loss of life or even an injury on the fire ground! It took over 6 hours and approximately 75k water to extinguish.

Thursday evening was a great training scenario where Westarea Fire Department and Fayetteville Fire Department worked together in a water rescue event. Rescue 1 personnel discussed proper equipment and usage, and then the 2 companies went into action mode.

Thank you to Rescue 1 for providing training and guidance.

On the way home my pager went off for a small outside fire, that was in between work and home. So I headed that way

WVFD responds to a small outside fire.

to see if I can offer any assistance. The fire was confined to an area about 200’x100′, and about 600 gallons of water was used. The only loss of property was an small, unused well pump house. It appears the fire was started from the remnants of a burn barrel used the previous day.
