Manatee County EMS Raptor 1 Rehap Bus
Whitfield, FL - As the first hot work day of the year was coming to an end on April 29th, things heated up for the Southern Manatee Fire & Rescue District when firefighters were dispatched to a commercial fire on 33rd Street East. As units responded they reported a large column of black smoke showing in the area. Firefighters arrived and found a well involved Auto Repair Shop, prompting a second-alarm to be struck. The building was constructed with corrugated metal walls and roof which hampered firefighting efforts. Two workers were treated for what was reported as minor burn injuries. The area around the fire was filled with clutter such as parts, vehicles, boats and RV's, some which also caught fire and made advancement of hose lines difficult. Cedar Hammock Fire District and Manatee County EMS assisted.
