At 0137 Hrs. the Structure Fire assignment for a barn fire in the 13100 Blk of Wolfe Rd was dispatched. Chief 54-1 arrived on scene and advised of a "Fully Involved" 100' x 50' Barn. As the Engine's from 61 and 54 got supply lines laid and water supply set up, Truck 58 arrived and set up for aerial operations. Engine 58-1 arrived and supplied E61-2 from a hydrant at Wolfe Rd. and Far Hills Dr. Truck 58 knocked down the bulk of the fire with the aerial so crews could then use handlines for mop up. Crews operated for approx 3 Hrs. Command was held by Chief 54-1 (Russell)
