On July 10, Tanker 59 arrived in Halifax Township to help put out a second-alarm barn fire.
In order to ensure that firefighters had a steady supply of water during suppression efforts, multiple tankers were utilized to transport water to the scene due to the rural location and limited surrounding water supply.
Before going back into duty, Tanker 59 stayed on the scene to assist in the mutual aid reaction.
