On 9\/10\/09 at 7:44 pm, a call came in to the Long Beach Fire Department for reports of fire on the 400 block of Plymouth Street. Engine 12 was the first unit on scene within 3 minutes and reported heavy fire blowing through the roof and requested a fourth Engine for manpower.<\/p>\n
The apartment fire was on the second floor and in the rear of the 8 unit complex. LBFD units\u00a0began an aggressive fire attack and, it took about 10 minutes to knock down the flames and conduct a primary search of the 1 bedroom apartment. T11 went to\u00a0the roof and ventilated the super heated smoke and gases, thus making it\u00a0cooler for the crews inside extinguishing the blaze.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Thankfully there was no one in the unit and there were no other injuries to report. The cause of the fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n
The affected unit was a total loss and there were 3 other units that had minor smoke damage, therefore displaced a total of 7 adults and 2 children. The Red Cross was called to the scene to assist with sheltering for the 9 people.<\/p>\n
Total units on scene consisted of: E11, T11, R11, E12, E9,E13, BC3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
