Garage Gutted By Fire On The East Side
By Jackawa Jackson | February 15, 2009
On Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 12:16 am, BC2, E18, E5, E19, T19 and R17 responded to a Garage Fire at 3618 Ostrom Ave.
Upon arrival, Engine 18 found the attached, two car garage of a single family dwelling fully involved in flames. Backed up by Engine 5, the house was searched while the garage fire was extinguished. Two cars in the garage were burned, but firefighters kept the fire from spreading into the house.
Since there were no injuries, the family declined the services of Public Works (board-up) and the Red Cross (shelter).
Extensive overhaul was conducted to seek out hidden fire in stored material. Truck 19 provided lights and blowers, and overhauled roof rafters and trim.
A total of 6 apparatus and 19 personnel responded to this call.
