On Saturday afternoon, Station 5 was alerted to the Clement's Transfer Station for a dumpster fire. Engine 54 arrived on the scene and located the large compactable dumpster on fire. The crew pulled the bumper line to extinguish the fire. The trash had been compacted and the fire was not easily accessible. The crew put the cellar nozzle on the line and let water flow into the dumpster until the fire was extinguished. Engine 51 responded for additional water.
