DOTHAN: 12:27 PM Dothan 911 dispatched Dothan Fire Department and Dothan Police Department to an equipment fire.
The fire location was 1475 Ross Clark Circle. This area is between Prevatt Road and Oppert Road on the east side of Ross Clark Circle.
In the woods a excavator was on fire. Along the circle Dothan Fire Engine Company 5 (Eastside) was connected to a fire hydrant next to Raceway. The five inch fire hose ran along the side of the circle and was connected to Dothan Fire Engine 4 (Southside). Dothan Fire Battalion Chief, Dothan Fire Deputy Fire Chief Pete Webb, Dothan Fire Incident Support Unit were all on the scene.
Fighting the excavator fire was difficult for Dothan Fire because it was back into the woods. This made it impossible for a fire engine to gain easy access to the equipment.
Dothan Fire announced a few minutes ago, 1:20 PM, the fire was under control.
