Two fire departments battle blaze off Highway 55
Two fire departments were battling a house fire Saturday afternoon.
Buckland Fire and Rescue Chief Garry Schrader told paNOW they got called out to help out a neighbouring department.
“We were called roughly around noon, for mutual aid to help Garden River Fire Department for a house fire that was on Highway 55 by White Star Road,” he said.
Specifically, Garden River asked Buckland to supply an engine and a tanker truck. Along with the two trucks the Buckland department sent eight members. Schrader estimated there was a total of 16 people on the scene with the Garden River department working on one side of the house and the Buckland department on the other.
