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.

Lightning….

Lightning streaks through the sky at night,
Chasing shadows going left and right.
Clearing the way for more to come,
Dancing in the darkness, not to be outdone.

The wind howls and provides its song,
For the lightning to dance all night long.
With crescendos of sounds; crashing and banging,
Any loose thing can add sounds clanging.

The clouds hide the stars and moon,
The sound of thunder, echo the doom.
Of the power within the streaks of might,
So beautiful God’s writing with electric light.

Another Afternoon with WVFD

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.

It’s Snowing!! January 17th, 6pm.

The snow finally arrived!! We were waiting for about a day and a half for this snow to come; the weathermen just beat this snow storm over and over. “Inga” i think it’s name was, and it wasn’t at all as spectacular here as they threatened it to be…. it started around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, but really didn’t accumulate until later in the

Remnants of Snow Storm Inga, Jan 18th

evening.

The only bad thing that happened to us is that the well lost pressure; didn’t freeze, just that the pump could not maintain pressure. So I have a call into the Home Warranty Company, and they are sending out a plumber tomorrow.
