TOWER
CALLED DOWN TO THE EAST END FOR A ROWHOUSE FIRE |
|
June 12, 2008
– At 2015 hours, mutual box 17-24 was sounded for smoke
coming from the roof at 4654 Charlton Court. Usually
the 5th due truck, Tower 501 responded first due.
Battalion 505 arrived on the scene and reported
smoke showing from the roof of a of a 2 story brick
row. Inside the crew from Engine 512 found a small
fire in the cockloft and made quick work of it. By
the time we got there, Rescue 502 had opened the
roof and had most of the work done. Since there was
nothing left to do, it was time to cause some
mischief. We found our favorite career Lt., Dave
Halman, also a Rescue 502 volunteer, up on the roof.
We heckled him for a minute about his whole and then
repositioned the ladder leaving him stranded long
enough to get his BP up. We also considered loading
the back of the Squad up with our ground ladders
since they thought they were a truck company, but
decided we had caused enough trouble. It was good to
see some faces who we don't get to see so often.
With nothing else to do, we braved the 130 degree
volcano heat coming out from underneath the engine
housing in the back of the Tower and headed home. |
