After many months of waiting. Engine 53 has arrived in Montello.
It will not be put in service until all training has been completed. Plus Tacoma Township will be added to the truck somewhere. Finally the residents of Montello will have another fire engine to protect the town!! Congratulations. Long over due but well deserved!!!
This fire is located at the area named 21 mile on the Winecup Gamble ranch. The wildfire was renamed to 20 mile on the Elko county incident website. JT was the first responder and took this video. The picture below the video is what the fire looked like when JT first arrived. July 12, 2012
