Cool Springs was dispatched to a building fire on a Sunday Evening on Sain Road. Cool Springs Engine 1 was the first apparatus to leave the station. Once Engine 1 was on scene they found a building that had heavy smoke coming from the garage doors. Engine 1 personnel stretched a attack line and shortly after stretching the line mutual aid departments and other Cool Springs personnel showed up to stretch a second attack line. While the second line was being stretched a crew started knocking down the fire inside the structure. Once the second line was in place a crew went around back to start hitting the fire as well.
There was a vehicle inside the garage type structure so once the fire was out crews were able to remove the vehicle from the structure. Once the vehicle was out of the building crews also went in to hit any hotspots that may have been left and overhaul the building. Once the hotspots were all out crews then cleared the scene.
