Nevada: Sept. 7, 2021 Washoe County Sheriff's Office Patrol deputies and sergeants were the first to arrive at a fully engulfed structure fire on Ted Court on September 7, 2021. When they arrived, residents were obviously scared and frazzled. Our deputies immediately began directing community members to vacate the highly volatile scene, as the first priority is always to make sure people are safe. Sergeants on the scene were also actively looking for the nearest fire hydrant to make sure Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue crews had ready access to water. The closest fire hydrant was 150 yards away. And once fire crews got on the scene, their engine was quickly running out of water. Getting fire crews water from the hydrant was of utmost importance to prevent the fire incident from spreading. Sergeant Joe Colacurcio, Sergeant Brian Atkinson, Deputy Ken Rangle, Deputy Thomas Wood, Deputy Blake Lux, and Deputy William Gibson all went above and beyond the call of duty. They assisted by running the hose line up the hill to the hydrant and hooked it up. This allowed the first firefighters on the scene to continue battling the flames from their engine staged at Ted Court.
