Need to know what equipment arrived on scene and when. Was it 3 guys in personal vehicles or an engine with full turned out firefighters?

Tragic story. Hope it ends with a volunteer department going full time professional and saving someone’s life down the line.

Someone posted elsewhere here they had an engine confirmed arrived in 4.5 mins. Unknown staffing but at least an engine to move water. Tanker was there a minute later. So they had plenty of water to start.
