Description:
During initial response to the Deer Creek Fire in Wyoming, a call came over the radio of a smoke next to the Type 4 Engine. This smoke was then confirmed as coming from the Type 4’s right rear dual tires. The engine crewmembers looked up the slope to confirm the smoke. They saw flames shooting up the back right side of their engine. They ran to the engine, started the Type 4’s pump, and began using two hard lines to put the fire out. The Type 6 Engine joined in and began using its hard line. A total of 3 hard lines were used to put the Type 4 fire out.
