On July 22nd, shortly after 5pm, the Lake Carmel Fire Department and the Carmel Fire Department were dispatched for a possible structure fire. Second Assistant Chief Rob Benson arrived on scene to find smoke coming from the eaves and upgraded the assignment to a working fire. Thanks to the quick response and coordinated efforts of both departments, the fire was successfully extinguished. The teams worked together on fire suppression, overhaul, and ventilation for over an hour before returning to service.
