Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department responds to school bus depot structure fire

JFRD responded to a commercial building structure fire. The structure turned out to be a multi use facility for repair and operating facility for school busses. Upon arrival, heavy black smoke was billowing from the structure as 3-4 school busses were on fire. The closest hydrant was located quite a ways away from the fire and a relay pumping evolution was initiated. Multiple ladders were positioned and prepared for a defensive attack should conditions have warranted such. The "C"-"D" corner of the building showed some buckling in the metal, but safety chiefs were in good position to monitor those conditions. The building also housed large containers of oil and diesel fuel which the safety officers were also well aware of, and proactive in the cooling and protecting of them. Two civilians who attempted to extinguish the fire with extinguishers prior to our arrival were transported to the hospital with non life threatening injuries. No firefighters were injured. The state fire marshal was called to investigate the cause.
