Structure Fire

September 17 , 2008

During the afternoon, Communications alerted Stations 1, 6, 3 and Truck 5 to the Extended Stay America on Northern Pike for a reported apartment on fire. C-42 (Asst Chief Feyes) in the area arrived on scene and reported smoke coming from a 2nd story apartment. Truck 5 arrived shortly after and once inside, determined there had been a kitchen fire that was extinguished prior to arrival by the sprinkler system causing a large water condition. With only Engine 61 and Truck 5 on the call, command requested additional units to the scene bringing several more engines to the scene. With C-62 (Deputy Chief Shuga) assuming interior command, crews confirmed no fire extension had occurred began ventilation tasks and salvage operations.
