ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER FIRE: ENGINE FIRST IN ON COUNTY HOUSE
January 19, 2008 – At 1128 hours Prince William County Fire Communications transmitted a box alarm for a house fire at 8325 Highland Street, bringing Engine 501 as the second due engine company. Engine 501 arrived just ahead of Engine 511, taking the first due position, and reported a working fire. The Engine’s crew forced the front door and encountered heavy smoke conditions on the first floor. With no visibility and through increasing heat, they conducted a primary search of the first floor until they found a room off. While they
made quick work of that, the crew from Engine 511 made the second floor and began to ventilate. When conditions on the second floor failed to improve, Engine and Truck 511 opened up the walls and ceiling and found fire in the attic too. As the roof was vented, Engine 511 knocked down the remaining fire. The speedy actions and team work of the first arriving companies contained the fire to a small portion of the home. Battalion 581 (Ellis) initially had the command and then switched over to operations upon arrival of Chief 508. Engine 501 cleared the fireground at 1422 hours.
