0 responses 0 comments Five minutes after arriving on scene of a Golden Hills fire, firefighters had stopped the flames and within 15 minutes the fire was totally out. Unusual? Not really, it was just what they do.
Engines from Kern County Fire Station 12, 16 and the prison, as well as a water tender from Station 11, responded to a fire on Quail Canyon Road March 29.
The inmate crew from CCI was one of the first units to arrive and start dowsing the flames.
Battalion Chief Heidi Dinkler assumed command of the operation after arriving from Station 11 in Keene.
According to Capt. Randy Kit of the Station 12, the cause of the fire that started at approximately 4 p.m. was probably electrical. He said several fires are caused by electrical problems.
Kit also said that outlets with cords should not be crowded with combustible materials.
