7/19/07 - Mason field fire, 2111 Coy Rd

The Mason Fire Department responded to a field fire at 5:28 PM, Thursday, July 19, 2007. A farmer working in this field had a fire start in some equipment, which quickly spread to his dry field and involved a nearby wagon. Mason firefighters worked fast to cut off the spreading fire before coming back to extinguish the wagon. Mutual aid was requested for a grass rig from the Leslie Fire Department but the fire was under control when they arrived. Mason Tanker 811, which was received by the department earlier in the day, delivered it's first water as it was used to refill the grass rigs and Engine 809.
