Shortly before 1100hrs, units from West Lake and West Ridge Fire
Departments were dispatched to the Sara Coyne Campground at the foot of
Presque Isle State Park for a camper fire.
First arriving units reported a working fire with exposures. Engine 9 from
West Lake was the first engine on location, shortly followed by West Lake
Engine 4 and West Ridge Engine 16. Multiple attack lines were pulled off
of Engine 9 to begin fire suppression operations. A search of the camper
proved negative.
Investigators believe that the fire was caused by faulty wiring. Crews
remained on location for over an hour. West Ridge Captain 470 had initial
command upon arrival, but pass command onto West Lake Chief 480 upon his
arrival. No injuries were reported.
