January 16, 2006

Fire Companies were dispatched to 653 South Street, for smoke and fire showing from the second floor. Engine-22 responded with a crew of six. Truck-22 responded with a crew of seven. The engine laid 1100 feet of 5-inch hose from the hydrant at Glen Road and Market Street to the scene. Truck-22 came in from the Spruce Street side and had the front of structure. Engine-23 came up Market Street and went in the alley behind the structure. Engine-24 came up Spruce Street and came in the alley from that side, connecting to the hydrant at Spruce and South Second Streets. Air-Light-66-60, and Rescue-66 staged behind Truck-22 with the Tower City crew acting as RIT. The first in crew advanced to the attic and was met with fire. The truck crew opened up the roof above them. Company-23's crew provided a second vent hole as well. Hose teams knocked down the bulk of fire, and then hidden pockets of fire were chased through walls on the second floor and above the second floor ceiling. The fire originated in the middle bedroom, with extension going to the attic. The room of origin and hallway were gutted. Smoke damage was in other rooms and water damage was on the first floor but room contents was tarped by the truckies. Company-21 was placed on standby during event. There was excellent teamwork by all companies on the scene. Roads became icy from the water being used and had to be salted after the call. Command began releasing units shortly after control was marked, and Company-22 personnel went available to return to the station to repack 5-inch hose.
