RFD companies were dispatched for the house fire located at 2614 Redwood Ave… Engine 11 arrived on scene, establishing
command, and found a 1.5 story private dwelling with smoke showing from the “C
& D” corner. They conducted an
aggressive attack, stretching a 1 ¾ attack line through the front door and
encountered fire rolling out of the kitchen into the dining room. Engine 11 darkened the fire down and moved
into the kitchen extinguishing the remaining fire. They also extinguished hot spots as Truck 1
opened up. Truck 1 completed a primary
search, which proved negative, as Engine 1 stretched a back-up line and Engine 15
established the role of RIT. The fire
was quickly brought under control as a result of a total team effort. Fire Investigators were requested to the scene
to determine a cause. There were no
casualties or injuries as Red Cross was requested and assisted the sole
occupant.
