WAGON
AND TOWER ON SECOND DUE APARTMENT FIRE |
|
March 12,
2006 -
At 1723 hrs, mutual box 89-03 was struck for an
apartment fire at 8595 Overhill Drive, bringing
Wagon and Tower 501. Quint 509 arrived on the scene
and reported smoke showing from side B of the
apartment. As their crew stretched a line in, they
found fire in the kitchen. Just as 509 opened up
their pipe on the fire, Wagon 501's crew entered the
home with a second line. They went to the floor
above. With smoke banked down to the floor, Wagon
501's crew took out the windows and began to check
for extension and start the primary search. Tower
501 arriving a few minuets later, threw ladders and
began opening up a cantilevered portion of the
second floor exterior for extension. With a search
of the second floor complete, Wagon 501 came down
and assisted Quint 509 with opening up in the fire
room. Quint 509 did a good job getting a quick knock
on the fire. Wagon 501 had the water supply.
Assistant Chief 511 (Ackerman) had the command.
Units from the City cleared at 1808 hrs. |
