Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #1101

The company was dispatched to the Reiff & Nestor Plant, on Reiff Street, for a water flow alarm activation. Engine-22 arrived and took side-1 in the parking lot, Truck-22 took side-4 on Reiff Street, Engine-23 took side-3 at West and Reiff Streets, and EMS and Police staged behind Engine-22. Initial sizeup showed the building to be evacuated and alarm bells sounding. Chief 22-1 responded to the Plant pumping station on South Street and discovered the pumps were in operation, with overflow dumping back into a holding pond and draining into Rattling Creek. Plant maintenance personnel arrived on the scene and shut down the pumps and a night watchman entered a code to allow fire personnel to access the building alarm system, which was re-set.
