Remarkably, this all unfolded as firefighters were also preparing for the department’s annual street dance, a community gathering that brings residents together for a night of fun and support for the volunteer fire department.
While details on the fires are still limited, the department extended its gratitude to neighboring agencies that provided mutual aid during the busy stretch.
