CIVILIAN MOST CERTAINLY SAVES HIS OWN HOUSE |
|
April
06, 2008
– At 0300 hours, Engine 501 responded third due on
the mutual box for a reported house on fire at 7506
MacNichol Lane, in the Buckhall section of the
County. Engine 516 and Engine 501 arrived together
to find a smoldering fire on the front porch. Engine
501, taking the second due position, pulled a line
off of Engine 516 and began knocking down all
visible fire. Luckily for the residents, an occupant
of the home was sleeping on the living room couch
and woke up with a mouth full of smoke. He ran
outside and, using the green line, knocked down most
of the fire prior to calling 911. This fire was
certainly only a minute or so away from burning
through the vinyl portion of the underpinning, which
was all that kept the fire out of the attic. The
occupant who extinguished the fire suffered minor
injuries while the rest were evaluated for smoke
inhalation. The Engine went ready at 0338 hours. |
