Paul Fenush from Baltimore County (MD) Engine Company 3 came across something quite interesting on a fire the other night; the pictures he sent in were taken by Michael Schwartzberg Fire Photographer with Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company.
The fire was a well involved fire that
was consuming an unattached garage. The garage was used by a landscaper to store his equipment. Along with the garage, there were several other out-buildings in close proximity.
While they were operating they noticed a garden hose laying on the ground in-between the buildings. After working for a while on the fire ground they noticed a few things interesting about the hose… It was tied up in one of the trees. The fire ended up burning through the garden hose and revealed the true situation. The garden hose was being used as an above ground conduit to run power from the detached garage to some of the other out-buildings. They had run power wire thorough the inside of the hose.
