Forcing the hood

821's crew caught this working auto fire Sunday afternoon.  Upon arrival the crew found a heavily involved passenger vehicle.  After deploying the bumper line,  FF D'Angelo went to work knocking the fire down while Captain Cooper forced the hood to get to the engine compartment.  Crews had both Southbound and Northbound lanes of Trask Parkway shutdown for about 15 minutes and eventually opened 1 lane in each direction while cleaning up and investigating.   

Knocking it down

Other responding agencies included Beaufort County Sheriff's Office for traffic control.
