FOAM ENGINE FINDS HEAVY FIRE IN MANASSAS PARK
February 26, 2008 – At 0359 hours, Foam Engine 501 responded third due on mutual box 89-01 for fire in a home at 213 Cabbel Drive, in the City of Manassas Park. Wagon 509 arrived and reported a working fire and that they were taking a line into the basement. Engine 508 and Foam Engine 501 arrived together. Engine 508 was ordered to conduct a primary on the first floor and the Foam Engine stretched a line in with them. Crews encountered heavy fire conditions throughout the home. As the fire attack was under way, the RIT group leader noted that even with three lines in operation, heavy fire was now venting out of all windows on Side A and B, and from the attic. At the same time Wagon 509 reported a large hole in the first floor and an evacuation was ordered. An exterior attack was initiated and once the bulk of fire was knocked down, crews had their hands full trying to get to several stubborn fires still burning within home and in the attic. Chief 501 had the command and the Foam Engine went ready at 0615 hours only to catch two more runs before returning to quarters an hour later.
