Tire Fire 052407 - eWR2 7716

Thursday evening, May 24, 2007, the Hoxie Volunteer Fire Department was called out of the city to a fire behind a shop building of tires and wheels. The Volunteers that made it with the equipment from the fire department hosed the fires with water and later foam to quench the fire for good. The Environmental Protection Agency's rules and regulations require that there are no open fires containing fluorocarbons and other potential harmful substances being released into the air such as tire fires do. All the County's Volunteer Fire Departments are ever vigilant on protecting the population from fire as well as air pollution as well as trying to enforce State and Federal Law.
