Four Bell in 3’s area.
By JJohnson | December 17, 2008
On the morning of 12/16/08 at 2:33A.M. , a call came in for a structure fire at Pacific Ave. and 12th St. Engine 3 was first on scene very quickly and reported “Heavy fire blowing out the rear, we are pulling a hot-line”.
The house was a single story, single family residence, about 1000 sq. ft. and it was going good. All of Station 1 was there, with Engine 1 pulling an additional line off of Engine 3 and assiting with fire attack. Truck 1 went to the roof and performed vertical ventilation. BC1 called for an additional rescue and engine, which meant we had E1, E101, T1, R1, E3, R10, E10, BC1, PIO4 in total.
It took about 20 minutes before the fire was finally knocked down. There were no injuries and luckily the house was empty and abandoned, although the fire did burn through the raised foundation in the rear.
