Our second workday (road clearing) that was scheduled for was rescheduled because of rain and an electrical storm. Eighteen members participated. The road clearing is to facilitate movement of the tanker and other fire equipment on local roads, many of which were overgrown with brush.
Our members responded to a Mutual Aid call with Corolla to a brush fire in Crown Point. Five Station 7 members responded with Chief 7 and Brush 71. Duck Fire Department also responded. There was a strong NE wind. The fire was controlled with no structural involvement.
