08/29/07 - Meth Lab

At 11:49AM volunteers were requested for a meth lab in the western portion of the coverage area. Engine 4 and Rescue 4 responded with 10 volunteers. Samaritan EMS responded as well. One crew provided ventilation to the residence so that law enforcement could safely begin collecting evidence and the other crew made a makeshift privacy area where the alleged participants in the lab could be washed down prior to being transported to a holding facility. We extend a special thanks to the female firefighters of the BMVFD who responded from home to take care of the females involved in the incident. And we express our appreciation to local law enforcement who do an excellent job keeping our community safe! Chief Whisenant had the incident command.
