Sunday, October 28, 2007 - This weekend has proven to be a busy one for the crews at Station 1. In two days there were two working structure fires in Station 1's first due.
On Saturday, C shift, along with station volunteers, responded to a structure fire on Watson Avenue. Crews arrived on scene to a two story, single family dwelling with light smoke coming from the eaves of the roof. Crews pulled a line in on the Adam side of the structure and found the location of the fire in the attic and in a wall on the first floor. The fire was quickly extinguished and the house was overhauled.
On Sunday, Station 1's A Shift, along with station volunteers, responded to Cork Street for a confirmed structure fire. U-140 arrived on scene to advise a two story, multiple family dwelling with smoke showing on the second floor. A crew entered the Baker side of the structure with a line, and another crew entered the Adam side with another line. The Baker side crew ascended the stairs to the second story and noticed a heavy smoke condition. The crew from the Truck began to ventilate the windows of the second story while interior crews did a primary search for any possible victims and to find the location of the fire. The fire was found in a closet and crews quickly extinguished the source and checked for extension. Interior crews then backed out and were switched out with another crew for salvage and overhaul. Noone was home at the time of the fire.
