(1) This fire occured in the supply area adjacent to the main manufacturing area.   Thankfully, it was contained to the area of origin and Eclectic's largest (by far) commercial structure was not placed out of operation.  The fire did destroy a significant amount of raw materials.

(2) The home was unoccupied and had no utilities connected.  The structure was completely destroyed prior to the fire's detection.  EFD personnel were dispatched but took no action except to secure the scene, complete a report, and notify the State Fire Marshal.

(3) This fire was discovered by Joe and Sarah Graham as they drove home.   They reported it via radio and proceeded to remove a jet ski, pickup truck, riding lawn mower, and tractor from the three story barn prior to the arrival of Engine 801.   The fire was contained in the upper floor and the structure was also saved.

(4) This was a large wildfire in excess of 100 acres.  The site was so remote EFD apparatus could not reach it.  The fire was turned over to Alabama Forestry Commission personnel.
