Damn I hope this guy can get another generator quickly or has a spare, it sucks when the indoor operation is in full bloom and this happens.

Isn’t this the same place a generator shed fire took place last summer?

So what does mopping up mean and what caused this generator fire?
It’s sounds screwy, I mean anywhere else in the country on any other news source that reports similar or yet identical incidents of generators catching fire, you hear them talk about faulty wiring or the actual cause,…

Would you rather be “on the scene” or “at the scene” of a fire? Me,
I would rather be at the scene rather than on top of the fire getting my tail feathers singed. Firefighters are trained to say “at scene” but so many report “on scene” that it has begun to sound “normal”. When so many people use the wrong terminology and other lay people hear it then it seems to just self perpetuate. It just isn’t worth quibbling about now that it is so ingrained. I wonder where the person who compiled the free dictionary gets his/her information?…from so many people who have heard incorrect protocol maybe?
Also, mopping up IS the actual cleanup up of the fire scene and making sure that all
fire is extinguished, not “finishing touches” of the cleanup. I think it is good to get correct information.
Information spreads knowledge and helps reduce misinformation. It is NOT being “hateful”, it is being HELPFUL.

at scene is how I was taught and our dispatch says at. Different departments and areas are different.I’m at the scene not on it but both get the point across

The critics sound like other news sources that are not nearly as reliable news sources as Kym. If you don’t like this site why don’t you look to your other more reliable sources for the news. I prefer Kym’s reporting to any other source in the area, and yes she depends on a lot of locals to help get the news out which gives it local flavor. Only an unwanted troll would be as insulting as some of the mean things recently said here, please move to the other highbrow city news blogs you seem to like and spread your hate there.

Did the stored fuel ignite? That is pretty black looking smoke, like maybe a fuel tank went up?
