11.23.07 Structure fire

FF D. Stone throwing(trying not to drop!) the ladder as crews made interior attack

At 11:48 Friday morning the alarm sounded for a structure fire, smoke & flames...

Upon arrival of DC-1 heavy smoke and flames were issuing out of the 2nd floor 1/4 &3/4 corner. E-1 arrived on scene and pulled a handline while E-7, on their heels, pulled a 2nd line & assisted E-1 with establishing water. E-1 encountered moderate heat & smoke (fire had vented & nearly burned through the roof) on the 2nd floor but reported a soft floor when approaching the burned area. Command advised a defensive attack and all interior units pulled out to get a knock down from the exterior. Shortly there after E-1,7,2, & 3 made interior and mopped up the fire. Great job to all the companies involved! thanks to T-6 for coming out to the north side for the help, thankfully all was done without incident or injury.
