1-07-08: 2 Alarm Condo Fire
Just after midnight Tacticl Box 82-55 was sounded for an apartment fire in the area of 153
Naomi Court, in the Crestwood Condos Development. Within seconds of the original dispatch the Box was transmitted due to numerous
calls reporting a working fire.
Within two minutes of dispatch C-14 was on location reporting "Heavy Fire Through the Roof".
E-14 arrived shortly there after and went in service with a 2 1/2inch line though the Side A door. E-82 went on loaction and
took the C/D corner and went in service with two 1 3/4 inch handlines.
Ladder 10 went on location and did primary searches in the adjoining residents, once that
was taken care of thier crew went to the roof. E-12 laid a 5 inch supply line to E-82. Ladder 10s crew reported that the fire
was speading laterally and started a trench cut on the roof.
At this time command struck the 2nd alarm bringing additional resources to the scene. Due
to the extreme fire conditions in the original fire appartment crews had to breach walls to gain access to the fire. Also
due to the construction of these buildings the many viod spaces proved to be perfect for fire spread in all directions. Crews
were challenged with heavy fire conditions and the labor intensive act of opening walls a ceilings. This was a challenge for
all of the crews on the fire scene.
Good Job to All crews on Scene.
