CALL THE MAY-DAY!!!!!

fl-lake-city-close-call-758784Thursday, April 9, 2009, A mobile home that caught fire in Lake City nearly spelled trouble for a pair of Firefighters. One Columbia County firefighter had to bail out the window to escape the fire Monday night. Once out, he opened a door to let another firefighter escape the inferno inside. No word yet on what started the fire, but it began in a shop adjacent to the mobile home. No one was hurt.
This is another good example of when a firefighter in trouble should, “Call the Mayday”.
