On Friday evening while the LFD was preparing for the Annual Christmas parade we were alerted for a Trailer fire in Layton’s Rivera. The call also alerted Stations 71 (Blades) and 87 (Seaford). Blades Fire Chief Earl Chaffinch arrived on scene first and confirmed a working fire. Asst. Chief Tim Walker arrived next and assumed command. Engine/Tanker 71-2 arrived and placed two 1 ¾ hose lines in service. Engine/Tanker 81-5 was next on scene and assisted the crew from 71 with fire extinguishment.
