A front-end loader was brought in to gain access to the pile of tires that was surrounded by cars.

An end loader was used to clear a path through the debris, allowing firefighters to reach hot spots that were otherwise inaccessible. This was a key part of the operation. Dennis McGuire, Jr. photo

It took companies 3 hours to bring the fire under control.

Part of the fire was on the other side of a creek, which made it difficult for crews to reach. The Robbins tower ladder was able to get water across the creek, helping to slow the spread. Dennis McGuire, Jr. photo
