[HFDlist] Mixter Road House Fire

[Jack Chandler]

I would like to thank everyone for a great job at the fire last night!

Everything seemed to go to plan and very smoothly. As Mixter is mostly 
out of the hydrant district it was a little more challenging than most 
of our fires. Good call by Tim Fitzgerald to take engine 4 with the 
large water capacity. As far as I could tell we never ran out of water 
prior to getting the supply line in place which is great. C1 and C2 did 
a great job at the scene with operations and safety.

Also special recognition to the crews on engine two and engine three as 
they were made up of many of our newer firefighters. Holden was able to 
staff all four engines, the tower and an ambulance utilizing the four on 
duty personnel, 2 fulltime and 23 call members.

Thanks to Paxton and Sterling for assisting at the scene and to Rutland 
and West Boylston for their help in covering the rest of the town while 
we were tied up!

Again, thanks to everyone for a great job!
