I spent Sunday (3/15/15) in Gary, Indiana and even though I didn’t catch the big one, the day was at least interesting as it usually is in Gary. Companies were dispatched to a dwelling fire in the 2400 block of Colfax around 12:45. I was on the other side of town and missed the address so by the time I arrived it was mostly out. Turned out to be the same vacant dwelling that was burned a few weeks ago.

Truck 2 broke down while en route and had to be replaced with Truck 1 from the other side of town. With decent light I took a few shots of the responding rigs. Squad 2 is now responding in the Chevy 3500 that is pictured. They responded with three in the rig.

At about 2:00, a brush fire came in out in Miller (the far east side of town). The fire was on a hill that was directly behind an apartment complex. Engine 7 had to back into a position at the base of the hill to feed a line over a retention wall in order to gain access. Nothing spectacular but better than nothing.
