On May 24th just before noon, members of Lawrence County Fire Rescue responded to a report of a residential structure fire at 14 Grinnell Drive in the Gandy Community. First arriving units from Gandy Fire Department arrived to find a mobile home fully involved with fire. Fire crews initiated a defensive attack on the fire due to the extent of fire progress, and the poor water supply in the area.
A tanker shuttle was set up to supply water for suppression efforts. One firefighter sustained a broken foot during extinguishment efforts. The firefighter was treated and released at a local facility, but is expected to be out of work during recovery.
