WHEATLAND – Multiple fire agencies were on-scene immediately after called to a fire on East Oak Street in Wheatland at around 1 p.m. on Wednesday. Multiple agencies were called to contain the spread and put out the flames of a garage with vehicles near it, in addition to a subsequent grass fire.
“The fire was contained pretty quickly,” Wheatland fire chief Bob Glasson said, emphasizing it would have taken several more hours to douse the flames without the aid of the town’s lone ladder truck, which was able to put a significant amount of water on the fire in a short period of time. “The ladder truck has been a real benefit to te community…It puts out a lot of water and definitely makes a difference.”
