When you call 911 and report a fire, you set in motion a chain of events firefighters train for almost relentlessly.
Once the location and nature of the fire have been determined, a variety of fire apparatus are dispatched.
According to Morgan Fire Chief Garret Smith, the skills involved in getting to the fire and setting up equipment properly are among the most important a firefighter has in their toolbox.
