Mighty 7's first due

Capt. Whitney with a halo over his head?
Around 3 P.M. Jan 23rd CFD Battalion 3's Mighty 7"s were dispatched to a barn fire in the town of Pembroke. Engine 7 responded from the quarters while Ambulance 7 came from Pleasant St at the Concord hospital. First reports was that of a fully involved barn. Once crews were on scene it was discovered that the barn was attached to the house as well. E-7 ended up being first due with A-7 arriving as the second piece on scene. Two 2 1/2" lines were stretched and both were placed at the entrance to the barn and with little progress being made E-7's deck gun was put to work. Entry into the home was made by members of the Pembroke Vol Fire and no extension was found. The incident eventually reached a "third alarm" which brought a compliment of apparatus from the Bow Fire, Hooksett Fire, Concord Fire, Pembroke Vol, Boscawen Vol, Allenstown Vol, Chichester Vol, and Loudon Vol . Another successful building fire with everyone safely going home to their families.

7's started the shift treating a 7 month old child who had fallen down a flight of stairs and ended the shift with a rockin' building fire. Who doesn't want to be a fireman.



I hope to add more pictures taken by some off duty guys.

Dan,
Thanks for starting this blog. We are enjoying the pictures. Oh the snow! Love the snow! Joshua asked you to make a snow robot for him and Rachel said "I do!" when asked about a snow angel. I guess she wants you to make her a snow angel. :)

Is the 7 month old baby okay? Glad everyone is safe!

Love ya,
Letisha

Just to let everyone know. The baby was not hurt. She fell down a flight of stairs (13 steps total) which was approx 22 feet.

That is how many stairs we have. Well a landing after the top 4 steps. Glad the baby is okay.

Thanks for the update!
