The Fire Department adjusted its fire response procedures following a fire that destroyed a wooden home in Glanvilles on September 21.<\/p>\n

\n

The fire truck from All Saints Fire Station that responded to the blaze reportedly had a capacity of fewer than 400 gallons.<\/p>\n

\n

The homeowner said it was devastating to watch her home burn when firefighters left the scene to refill the truck after it ran out of water while they battled the blaze.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not ideal, the size of the trucks, the capacity that they carry\u201d, Fire Chief Elvis Weaver said at a press conference on\u00a0Friday. He explained that when the trucks were purchased, \u201cit was the best, I believe at the time that the government could have done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was some mix-up, I must say, with the fire in Glanvilles because we have a truck at St. John\u2019s that carries at least 2500 gallons of water\u201d, Weaver said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He said St. John\u2019s Fire Station was called and \u00a0\u201cthey should have responded to backup All Saints but it took them a while.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Fire Chief said since the incident, new procedures were established to prevent a similar occurrence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just had a meeting on Tuesday, we have put things in place that whenever there\u2019s a fire in Johnson\u2019s Point or All Saints that St. John\u2019s will be responding right away, too, with them, just in case that they need the backup\u201d, the Fire Chief revealed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cIdeally, we would love to have trucks that carry at least 1000 gallons of water and we are working with the government to try and acquire those\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
