Firefighters Tackle Vehicle Fire Over Embankment

September 26, 2020 - At around 9pm, firefighters were alerted for an MVA with fire, on Rt80 west, at milepost 20.4.  Fire Chief 91-60 arrived on location first, confirming a vehicle went off the scenic overlook, and was fully involved.  Both parties of the vehicle managed to escape moments before their van ignited. 

Engine 91-61 arrived, stretching two 1-3/4" hand-lines to attack the vehicle and the wood line.  Tanker 91-71 arrived shortly after to supply water as needed. 95 Rescue also arrived to assist with patient care and transport. 

Due to the location of the burned vehicle, a heavy wrecker from Washington Collision was requested to assist in removing it from the cliff side.  

All members were clear of scene by 11pm.
