SUDDENLY, A FLURRY OF ACTIVITY FOR JOSEPH FIREFIGHTERS

After many weeks with no calls, Joseph Fire and Rescue was dispatched twice on Thursday, July 25, for a hazardous-material spill and a fire in rural Enterprise.

In the afternoon, firefighters responded to a puddle of diesel fuel in a parking space on Main Street in front of the Joseph Post Office. The spill was contained and the fuel removed with absorbent material.

That evening, a mutual-aid request brought Joseph firefighters to Golf Course Road to assist Enterprise Fire Department and the Oregon Department of Forestry in containing a hay barn fire. The barn and hay inside were lost and about an acre of grassland was scorched.
