The volunteers from the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Co. in Unionville were quick to extinguish a smoky brush fire on the afternoon of February 19 on the road bank along Clonmell-Upland Road (Route 842) between Ryan and Thouron Roads, near the old African Episcopal Methodist Church cemetery.
Station 36's website gave this account:
"Chief 36 quickly arrived on scene and gave an on-scene report of a brush fire on an embankment approx. 6' x 100'. Rescue 36 arrived on scene a few minutes later and the crew immediately went to work with hand tools and the booster reel. Brush 36 arrived shortly after the rescue and used its front turret for final extinguishment. The fire was put under control in just 8 minutes after arrival of Chief 36."
The charred embankment will be quickly covered by green weeds and vines as soon as spring gets here (on March 20!).
Po-Mar-Lin returned to West Marlborough the evening of Feb. 22 when a Waste Oil Recyclers truck overturned on Route 82 near the old King Ranch feed lots. The driver wasn't seriously hurt. Motorists were detoured onto a narrow rural road to get around the accident scene.
