AT 1441 HOURS AREA BOX 106 WAS SOUNDED BRINGING UNITS FROM THE NORTHERN END TO COX ROAD FOR THE REPORTED HOUSE FIRE. SHORTLY AFTER THE BOX WAS SOUNDED UNITS ARRIVED ON LOCATION WITH A WORKING FIRE.
AS ENGINE-11'S CREW STRETCHED THEIR ATTACK LINE THROUGH THE DOOR IT WAS APPARENT THAT MULTIPLE FIRES WERE BURNING WITH IN THE DWELLING. THE CREWS NEEDED TO MAKE QUICK WORK OF THIS JOB DUE TO THE "BALLOON FRAME" CONSTRUCTION AND THE POSSIBILITY OF RAPID SPREAD TO THE ATTIC.
TOWER-1'S CREW OPENED UP, THREW LADDERS AND CLEARED THE DWELLING OF POSSIBLE OCCUPANTS.
THE MULTIPLE FIRES WERE EXTINGUISHED WITH EASE AND THE FIRES WERE OUT WITH IN MINUTES.
THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL'S OFFICE HAS THIS FIRE LISTED AS AN ARSON CASE UNDER INVESTIGATION.
THANKS TO OUR "NORTHERN" CHIEF RIFE FOR HANDLING YET ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT AND TO THE OTHER MUTUAL AID DEPARTMENTS.
