FOAM
ENGINE ON APARTMENT FIRE WITH CO. 511 |
|
November 8, 2005 - At 1354 hrs, Foam Engine 501
responded on the box to 11227 Soldier's Ridge Circle
for a fire in apartment 303. Engine 511 arrived on
scene and reported nothing showing. At that point
they were waved down by civilians reporting a fire
around the block. Wagon 511 repositioned to the
front of 11215 and reported smoke showing from the
building. Engine 509, who was on the air at the time
of dispatch, took
the second due position and prepared to back up 511.
With no truck responding on the box, command ordered
the Foam Engine to take the truck role on arrival.
As they were approaching the scene, Ambulance 511
reported a possible victim in the back left bedroom.
The Foam arrived right behind 509, and immediately threw a
ladder to side A of what appeared to be a two story
town home. The Foam Engine's crew along with Engine
509 then headed in to search for the victim. They
advance past Wagon 511 who was getting a line
on the fire in the living room. It was quickly
realized that the upstairs rooms were a separate
apartment. With nothing found in the fire apartment, the Foam Engine's
Officer along with the crew from 509 searched both
exposures. The other firefighter from 501 opened up the
rest of the fire building and began hooking the ceiling
in the fire room. The Foam Engine's driver had thrown a
second ladder, this one to the roof, and assisted bringing fans
and lights to the front door. No victims were found and the fire
was contained to the living room. The Foam
Engine cleared at 1442 hrs. |
