 Munson Fire Department Sunday, April 13, 2008
Incident Description
Munson Fire Department and Drumheller Fire Department responded to a grass/brush fire along the CN Rail Line located South of the Fox Coulee area burning approximately 40 acres and moving quickly by high winds and dry grass. A couple more minutes and the fire could have rushed up a grassy hill and burned out (2) large family dewellings, access was very difficult as the Badlands surround the Rail Line. We were only able to gain access by going North to the nearest crossing and running our new Rocky Mountain Phoenix Rattler built by Rosenbauer’s central plant down the rail line and being able to maneuver on and off the tracks as well as turning around on the tracks and extinguishing the fire & hotspots, while also supplying much needed water to fellow firefighters with back packs. Munson Firefighters feel this truck will be a very valuable asset to its fleet by being able access these difficult areas.

It is the Pena Blanca Engine 25 at an empty mobile home fire. We had a county radio for use as a back up for our cell phones and heard the call out for a structure fire and proceeded to the scene where we found the truck. We approached the volunteers letting them know who we were and why we were there. We also helped out by laying hose, starting scene lights and Austin assisted in pump control.
The fire fighters could not stop praising their new engine, they totally love it.
