Large mulch fire in McCook, 12-28-13

The McCook Fire Department has been working a large mulch fire since 8AM at 5300 Lawndale. For much of the day they used a tanker shuttle to provide water. The fire is burning on the back side of a huge mulch pile where there is no access.

Late this afternoon, they released the tankers and requested a hose wagon (6-1-2) and turret wagon (6-7-6) from Chicago. The new 6-7-6 is on the scene at what is believed to be the first deployment of the new unit.

Several contributors are or have been at the scene. Several cell phone images have been submitted from Josh Boyajian and Tim Olk, and we look forward to more images later tonight. This will be an extended operation.
