30 firefighters from three Sheboygan County, Wisconsin fire departments helped contain a garage fire in the Town of Wilson on Wednesday, August 26th.

The first-in crew saw heavy smoke coming out of an attached garage. Firefighters were on-scene for about two hours to keep the fire from spreading and limiting the worst of the damage to the garage.

Firefighters from the Town of Wilson, City of Sheboygan, and Village of Oostburg responded to the scene. The Cedar Grove Fire Department stood-by at the Oostburg fire station.

Here are some images of a Box Alarm in Detroit on August 21st.  This was on Wanda Street between Louisiana and Nevada.  Companies were defensive on arrival.  The neat thing about this is that Engine 56 was only about 4 hours old at this point.  They had taken delivery of their new rig earlier in the afternoon and this was it’s first fire.  They did use their deck gun for a short period of time.
