With smoke from the Morrill Fire hanging in the air, Grant firefighter Garrett Thompson washes one of the Grant Fire Department’s trucks Saturday morning, March 14, after a shift battling the blaze. According to Grant Fire Chief Don Softley, firefighters from the Grant Fire Department maintained two trucks on scene at all times, using a third truck and a command vehicle as needed. Crews typically rotated four-to six-person teams every 12 hours to keep fresh firefighters available on scene, he said.
