Good Catch: Barn Fire Prevented

Published on Back To Index

Good Catch Overview
While arriving at a job site one morning, a crew member noticed a large fire dangerously close to a nearby barn. Strong winds were pushing the flames directly toward the structure, creating an urgent and hazardous situation.

Action Taken
The crew member quickly pulled into the homeowner’s driveway and found them unaware of the fire’s resurgence. After alerting them to the danger, they contacted a teammate to bring a vac truck to the scene. Using the truck’s water supply, they worked together to extinguish the flames before they reached the barn.

Outcome & Impact
Thanks to quick thinking and decisive action, the fire was extinguished before it could cause serious damage. The homeowners expressed deep gratitude, and a potentially devastating incident was successfully averted.

Kudos to the crew for their vigilance and commitment to safety. Their actions exemplify our safety-first culture—where every team member is empowered to observe, speak up, and act to prevent incidents before they occur.
