At 1355 the HFCo. #1 was dispatched to a reported vehicle fire on Presidential Drive (later updated to a Hecktown Road address). Initial reports of a working motor home fire were confirmed by multiple calls to the NC 911 Center. 5351 (Chief Seip) responded to the scene and confirmed a large header visible from about 2 miles out. 5351 requested station 14 (Nancy Run) be placed on stand-by for a possible response. Upon further updates from NC 911 of extension to a 3 car garage, 5351 requested a full response from station 14 and station 27 (Palmer Municipal FD) be placed on stand-by. 5351 arrived on scene, established 53 command and confirmed a fully involved motor home with extension to the structure.
