Companies were dispatched to a report of a structure fire and on arrival Engine 16 reported the front porch fully involved and laid 2 inch tank line. Fire was rolling up and out of the top of an unenclosed front porch, starting to spread to the second floor and it appeared that windows to the house had been broken from heat. MPD squad reported the back entry and porch area of the home were also fully involved in fire when they arrived via the alley. Engine 14 arrived and laid a supply line and a back-up line. Engine 4 assumed RIT. Ladder 4 raised its bucket. Engine 16 developed mechanical problems, which delayed water on the fire. Engine 4 backed down from 14th Avenue and laid a supply line to Ladder 4. Rescue 9 laid a 2 1/2-inch "blitz fire" line off Engine 16 to cover the exposure at 1418 Oliver. The fire spread rapidly through the structure forcing an exterior attack. Engine 16 and Ladder 4 reported water supply problems. A second alarm was requested and the Safety Officer set up a collapse zone. Engine 4 shut down and extended their supply line to Plymouth Avenue with assistance from Engine 1. Engine 2 laid their own supply line from 15th and Newton and down the alley to the rear of the structure and then laid their 2 1/2-inch "blitz fire" line. Engine 1 and Ladder 10 were used as relief on hand lines in the front of the building. The service door to the detached garage was found to have been forced open and inside there were two plastic gasoline containers, one set up with a paper wick stuck in the filler tube. The exposure at 1418 Oliver suffered water run off in the basement. Investigation determined the cause of the fire to be arson.

Companies responded to a reported fire in a dry cleaning & laundry establishment. On arrival firefighters found fire in the rear, primarily in a storage shed that was attached to the building. After forcing entry, fire was found in the ceiling of the shed that was extending to the interior of the building by spreading upward and into the eaves of the main building. An interior attack was attempted but due to a possible false ceiling area and rapidly changing conditions the attack was changed to defensive and master streams were set up and exposures covered. When the major volume of fire was knocked down, hand lines were used to get at the remaining hot spots. A melted gas container was found outside the shed in the area of origin. Last company left the fire ground at 1157. |
