November
23 2006
- At 1829 hours, box alarm 08-03 was sounded for
fire in a trailer at 8317 Maplewood Drive, in the
Yorkshire section of Prince William County. Foam
Engine 501 responded as the third due engine
company. Wagon 509 was on the air in the immediate
area and arrived on scene just after the box was put
out. They advised a working fire and ran a line into
the building. Wagon 508 arrived next a secured a
water supply. Foam Engine 501 arrived behind them
and pulled a third line, with fire now blowing out
the back of the trailer. The crew from Wagon 509
backed out of the building to protect two large fuel
tanks in the rear, so the crew from the Foam Engine
made entry into the trailer with Wagon 508 preparing
to back them up. Inside, 501 encountered high heat
and thick, heavy black smoke. They knocked the fire
down in the hallway, which was little more than
shoulder width. As they crawled to the back of the
trailer, they found two rooms off. The Foam Engine
extinguished all visible fire and, in conjunction
with Wagon 511, conducted a primary search which was
negative. Crews opened up briefly to check for
extension and then stood by while
the Fire Marshall carried out an investigation with the
dog. The Foam Engine cleared the fireground
at 2007 hours. |
