Three departments had responded to the fire, the Payne Fire Department, the Paulding Fire Department, and the Antwerp Fire Department. They were all still actively fighting the fire when the DAT arrived, and were happy to get a resupply of cold water and Gatorade.

Because of the length of time the fire fighters had already spent at the scene, and the long way they had to go to get the fire under control and everything cleaned up, the Disaster Team made arrangements to get food to them. The Van Wert Pizza Hut and the Paulding McDonalds both generously donated food to the fire fighters at the scene.

The departments had the fire out and were waiting on some heavy equipment to get to any remaining hot spots when the Disaster Team was released. They arrived back at the garage at about 3:30 PM.
