House Fire on January 1, 2009

The Disaster Action Team started the year early, with  a call from the Wren Fire Department at 2:00 AM on January 1st. 3 members of the team responded and reached the scene of the fire a little at about 3:15 AM.

2 Firefighters rest for a minute near the end of the fire.

The fire was mostly under control at that point, although the 4 departments that were there, Wren, Ohio City, Willshire, and Convoy, still had a couple of hours of work to do before they could finish up.

The members of the DAT served coffee, hot chocolate, and energy drinks, along with some snacks, to the members of the four departments, as well as letting them warm up inside the ERV until about 5:30 AM. They then headed back to Van Wert, hoping the rest of the year is much quieter.
