A/C/W Wellesley Ma. Route 128 North 05/01/09

On Friday Morning May 1, 2009 while on the way home from working the overnight, Wellesley Fire Dept. responded to Route 128 North Bound between Route 9 and Route 16 (on the Newton Line) for a reported trash truck on fire around 7:45am. Upon arrival of Car-3, he reported a fire in the container portion of a trash truck and requested an extra engine from Newton to the scene to assist. Companies stretched several hand lines and went to work while the MSP shut down 2 lanes during the morning rush hour traffic. A few minutes into it, the OIC requested for (2) more extra engines to the scene with Newton Engine-1 (Special request for foam) and Wellesley Engine-4 was sent to Route 9 at Williams Street to assist companies with shuttling water to the scene. After the load was dumped on the high way, the fire was extinguished with 3 hand lines using foam and a pay loader from State Highway showed up and assisted with the overhauling. The first 2 photos were taken from a parking lot on Route 9 and the rest was taken from the end of Duxbury Rd by climbing a fence and tree.
