GLYNN
COUNTY, GA -- At approximately 22:30 hours on Monday
June 16, 2003 the Glynn County Fire Department responded to a tractor trailer on
fire. Upon arrival, the first in units reported that the contents of a trash
transfer trailer were involved and that the trailer was located within a shelter
with other vehicles. Career personnel assisted by personnel from the Ballard
volunteer division performed suppression activities and contained the fire until
the truck and trailer could be relocated outside and unloaded. Once unloaded and on the
ground department personnel, now being assisted by trash facility personnel, continued
suppression activities until the fire was extinguished. Damage was limited to
the trash transfer trailer, which burned through both side panels, and is
believed to have been valued near sixty thousand dollars ($ 60,000.00). The scene was
released to the owner shortly after midnight with no injuries being reported as the result of this incident.
