some unit arrived in 3 minutes - unknown what type of unit

this fire might be on broadcastify

========================

On 9/13/2024 shortly after 8pm Lawrence County Fire Rescue units were
dispatched to a reported residential structure fire in the New
Prospect Fire District with persons possible trapped inside. Within 3
minutes of the call being dispatched a LCFR unit arrived on the scene
and confirmed a two story residential structure with heavy fire
conditions on the rear of the residence being driven by high winds.
Moments later an automatic aid Engine Company from Lawrenceburg Fire
Department arrived on scene along with several New Prospect Fire
units. Units on scene initiated an aggressive attack on the fire while
also making a canvas for victims. Units on the scene were able to make
contact with the homeowner to verify that the homeowners were not in
the residence. Due to inadequate water supply for fire suppression
several LCFR engine and tanker companies responded to the scene to
conduct a water shuttle operation to provide water for fire
suppression. Units remained on the scene for nearly 4 hours before
returning to service.

Despite the efforts of first responders it is believed that at least
one family pet did not survive the fire. We ask that you keep the
homeowners in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days as they
deal with this loss. See less
