July 26, 2009 - Working Row Home Fire
|
|
21:07hrs – All seven stations were dispatched to 810 N. 3rd Street for a reported house fire. First arriving units found heavy smoke venting from Divisions 1 & 2 Side A. Two 1 - 3/4” lines were pulled for the initial attack and one crew went to Division 1 and the other to Divison 2. As firefighters we knocking down the fire, smoke became visible from attics on either side of the fire building which prompted command to have the Schuylkill Haven Fire Department R.I.T team dispatched. Due to the building construction, the fire spread rapidly to Division 2 and to the exposures on each side of the fire building. Due to the aggressive interior attack, the bulk of the fire was held to two houses while others in the row just had smoke damage. Crews performed
extensive overhaul of the main fire & exposure buildings. The last of the units on scene cleared at approximately 12:45hrs.
