Early Afternoon Blaze In A Row Of Detatched Garages

By Jackawa Jackson | April 28, 2009

At 2:07 pm, Long Beach Fire Department units responded to a report of a garage fire located to the rear of 4308 E. 4th St. Truck 14 arrived first on scene to find heavy smoke emanating from a row of detached garages to the rear of an apartment building.  The truck crew began rapid forcible entry operations in an effort to make way for the first arriving engine company. This would be Engine 4, which arrived, seconds later.  An aggressive interior attack, in conjunction with rapid vertical ventilation, and the close proximity of responding units helped to confine this fire to the garage of origin. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.  There were no injuries reported to citizens or to firefighters.
