Anyone have better info on this fire. Sounds rather large.

Just flipped it on --- sounds like 5050 Sheppard Ln near Clarksville Pike

Not sure what's burning yet.

Water problems...


You must be right about the size of the incident - they just said they're having a Command Staffing Meeting on scene at 1530 -- sounds like they're trying to figure out what steps to take now that the fire i under control so they won't be there all night ... fires apparently are buring under collapsed materials and they need to move them to get directly to the remaining fires

It was a barn fire. Mutual aid from Montgomery County to the scene, and Carroll & Anne Arundel for fill-ins.

Actually, it was a conveyor belt type fire on a stump grinding machine that appeared to have caught fire and spread into the exposures (if you want to call them that). Check out the incident pics on FirePix. Some of the fire appeared to be fairly deep seated, and there were most certainly water supply issues. This seems to be a new(er) trend in recent fires with Clarksville (rural water supply problems). Not that they're not up to the challenge, though...they have their tanker and Chief 5A seems to have a grasp on things.
