Firefighters with the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department had a stressful and busy day on Tuesday, fighting multiple fires and responding to calls. A house in the 600 block of North Carol Avenue caught fire and upon arrival, firefighters observed heavy fire coming from the front and rear of the house. The fire was quickly contained in 15 minutes, as a two-man crew entered through the front while a deck gun was used to knock the fire down. In total, four trucks and 13 firefighters were on scene, as well as Mt. Pleasant Police and Henry County Health Center. There were no human injuries, but family pets were lost.
Before the call was wrapped up, two brush trucks and a tanker were sent to a brush fire. At the end of the evening, the department was called to Arby’s for a fire alarm around 11:00pm.
