Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #1785

Captain 22 received a phone call from the Alpha Laval Plant advising that a storm sewer to the rear of their office next to the plant was blocked and water was overflowing and headed towards the office area. Chief 22 and Captain 22 responded class 3 to the station to get a portable pump and hose, and then proceeded to the plant and set up the portable pump to clear away several inches of water. A heavy rain storm mixed with very warm temperatures in the area overnight produced torrential downpours all night and throughout the morning.
