A few pictures of ARFF 294 assisting in Toppenish today.

ARFF 294 was requested due to its ability to discharge a large amount of foam.

While this apparatus is designed to fight aircraft fires, it can also be useful for any fire that has a large amount of fuels, natural gas and potentially propane in this case.

Awesome

This story illustrates the shadowy acts of arson fires in Yakima, WA orchestrated for greed and profit by company owners, aided by corrupt politicians and the “Mob”. From the first alarm to the cold ashes, the author lays out the who, what and why. It’s a visceral experience of the many arson fires that I and my fellow firefighters fought during that era.
