One of our mutual aid companies had a structure fire, we were the second truck company. Upon arrival, the first-in attack crew from the other company had an interesting encounter.

They made entry and found that the house was being used as a barn. There were rabbits snakes, ferrets, birds and a few goats. The main fire was on the second floor so they headed upstairs. Upon entry into the fire room, the pipe man was charged by a 250+ lbs pot belly pig. Needless to say, they backed out to regroup, and another crew was sent in to retrieve the pig. Now that fire is known to us as the “ZOO FIRE”
