Shortly before 1900hrs. Kittery Fire was toned out for a report of a barn fire on Braveboat Harbor Rd. in the area of #199. Braveboat Harbor Rd. is also Route 103 which runs between York Harbor and Kittery Point. Kittery C3 responding to the station reported it was well involved with possible exposures. Kittery C-1 promptly transmitted the Working Fire and a quick Second alarm for the tanker run card. This brought Engine 4 and Tank 4 from York Village along with the SMART truck. Tank 4 responded with 2 and Engine 4 responded with a crew of 6. other members met us on scene and the total crew was 14 personnel from York Village Fire. York C-1 arrived on scene and was tasked with establishing a rural water supply. Tank 4 dropped its porta-tank and Engine 4 was ordered to set into the tank, draft and feed the fire attack which was Kittery Engine 5 from the Kittery Point firehouse. Heavy smoke could be seen all over York as the 40×60 barn was heavily involved prior to the arrival of even the first due companies. Tank 4, along with Greenland tanker, Eliot tanker, and York Beach Engine 5 shuttled water for several hours to supply the firefighting operation. The SMART truck supplied bottled water and snacks to rehabilitate the firefighters on scene. York Police, Kittery Police stood by for traffic control and American Ambulance stood by for EMS and treated one very minor firefighter injury. York Village companies were cleared by 2200 hours to return to town.
