6/12/07 - Potterville pallet yard fire, day 3

Tuesday, June 12, 2007, day 3 of operations at 4400 Shance Hwy. Crews get started at 8:30 AM, setting up a drafting operation as well as tanker shuttles to continue putting out the piles of wood mulch that are smoldering after the pallet yard fire. By now, the pallets have burned away, leaving only the nails that attached them, making even walking in the area a hazard. The lot is littered with burned and twisted semi truck trailers, a burned grass rig from the Benton Twp Fire Department and what is left of a couple of portable water tanks that were set up early in the fire fight. Charlotte, Delta Twp, and the City of Lansing fire departments set up a Squrt and deck guns to spray water into the piles all day long. The Department of Natural Resources set up a pump and portable irrigation system from a nearby stream to keep the piles wet and try to keep the smoke down. Two engines from Lansing Fire use all of their LDH supply hose to stretch from the same stream for a supply line. Onondaga Fire Department supplied a truck to draft to the relay pumper which supplied the deck gun off the 2nd pumper. Charlotte and Delta Twp used tanker shuttles to supply their master streams as front end loaders arrived to start leveling out the piles to access the hot spots.
