Lawrence fire says "Not in my back yard!"

Yesterday Lawrence fire department received an emergency phone call reporting a fire in a residential structure located at #15 Bradford St.

Well the guys and gals of Lawtown fire did what they always do when this happens. They throw on their gear, jump on the trucks and start heading towards the fire location. And if there is smoke showing as they drive toward the fire, they will get on the radio and report it or if on arrival they have fire they will report it too; but; this time was a little different!

As the roll up door cleared the windshield of the trucks and before the rig cleared the door opening, companies where requesting the working fire assignment because, #15 Bradford St. is right next door to Lawrence’s central fire station.

Crews got in and made short work of the fire knocking it down. They remained on scene overhauling for about a half hour, making sure the fire was out and had no chance of rekindling.
