Garner Fire/Rescue was dispatched to a grill fire at 109 Belmore Cir. Eng 3, E-1, R-1 and Car 3 responded. The fire was out upon arrival.
Liam is the boy in the picture. He is 5 years old. He was outside sitting on the deck not more than 5 feet or so from the grill. His Dad lit the grill, and then went back inside while it preheated. For unknown reasons LP was leaking from the tank or hose. The vapors ignited and went back to the bottle lighting the grill and deck on fire. Liam heard this, looked up and was smart/brave enough to run inside and alert his parents that the back deck and grill was on fire. While Mom called 911, Dad grabbed 2 fire extinguishers and the garden hose. He extinguished the grill and the deck. Was it not for Liam's quick thinking and actions the outcome of this could have been much worse.

Garner Fire/Rescue was awarded a FEMA Grant for updating our rescue equipment. This process was started in 2008 and after many hours of research, paperwork, and waiting we finally got the new equipment in this week. The equipment received is used to extricate victims who may be trapped or pinned in a vehicle after an accident. Our current tools used were outdated and in need of replacement. The grant award was $47,000.
