Almost two years ago I had sent some photos of a fire my fire dept had fought in Jan of 2008. After much patience, two of the shots from that night have finally been published! :)
The magazine doesnt put out monthly issues, instead they put three months into one issue.
The editor finally sent me a copy of the magazine. So I had to scan the page because they dont have the photos on their website.
This is what was written in the magazine…..
Tennesse Blaze
Volunteer firefighters in Townsend (TN) fought a challenging fire in a historical building and former restaurant at 8:30pmon Jan 23,2008. The volunteers arrived within ten minutes of the first call, and found smoke and flames showing from the second floor.
Just as fire crews got first water on the fire, within 3-5 minutes, the fire swept throughout the building and the entire structure was engulfed. Townsend VFD Chief Don Stallions reported he has never seen a building go up so fast. Crews fought the fire throughtout the night.
