E1 responded to a pole fire with multiple callers. MCT stated possible transformer fire. Security stated the transformers between the Golden Gate Casino and the Bayou Casino are arcing and popping.
E1 upon arrival found two transformers on fire. These transformers were 2 of 4 in a single line supported by multiple poles. E1 updated NVP via dispatch with the two transformers actively on fire. E1 utilized Freemont Street Security to secure a safe area around E1 and to keep on-lookers well away from the transformers. Golden Gate Casino was notified to clear any Rooms on the East wall both 1st and 2ns stories.
E1 set up the snozzle and secured a water supply directly in front of the Golden Gate Casino to extinguish a rubbish fire (as a result of the transformers being on fire) directly underneath the transformers. NVP on scene and they shut power off to both banks of transformers so E1 could further extinguish the hot spots on the poles themselves and the rubbish container. Freemont Street Security and the Golden Gate Casino notified of the power being secured. NVP to handle and E1 to break down Fire Barrier Tape.
