At 10:55 hours on the morning of August 4th, Tanker 61 was dispatched mutual aid to the Town of Foster for a reported house fire on Foster Center Road.
First-arriving Foster companies reported a Code Red, with smoke showing from a single-story log cabin. Crews quickly traced the fire to the cellar, where it was brought under control before it could spread further.
Members from Tanker 61 assisted with forcible entry, overhaul, and primary searches, working alongside Foster crews to ensure the fire was fully extinguished and the structure cleared.
Five members responded on Tanker 61, operating on scene for approximately one hour before returning to service.
