FIRST
DUE WITH FIRE ON THE THIRD FLOOR |
|
March 28, 2008
– At 2113 hours, units from the 81st Battalion hit
the street as box alarm 81-01 was transmitted for
fire in a home at 8490 Saddle Court. Wagon, Tower,
and Chief 501 responded with 10 volunteers. Tower
501 went on the scene with smoke showing from the
third floor. As they were making their way inside,
bystanders reported that two children were possibly
still not accounted for. As Wagon 501 deployed their
line, the Tower began an aggressive search of the
home. On the third floor, crews found a back bedroom
off with heavy extension into the cockloft. The crew
from Wagon 501 made quick work of the fire. Wagon
509 arrived, pulled a backup line, and assisted the
Tower with the primary, which was negative. Truck
511 assisted the Tower with ventilation. Chief 501
had the command. The last unit from the City cleared
the scene at 2308 hours. The missing children were
located outside of the home. One occupant was
transported with smoke inhalation. |
