2nd residential bldg fire




Our second day of the tour and we catch another building fire. This one was in the Heights district. Engines 1, 4, & 7, Ladder 2, & Amb 4, 7 & the Batt Chief were dispatched to a basement fire with occupants out except for one who was still trying to put out the flames. When 7's arrived along with the BC there was light smoke showing. A handline was stretched into the basement, but before a drop of water was used the fire had alreaady been put out. Not by the occupants though. This was a typical City of Concord fire. After the flames climbed the wall and reached the ceiling, the water pipes above the fire came apart and effectively snuffed out the fire.



On a side note: Now that Lt France is no longer stationed at the Central station, it appears that the rest of the gang has given up on meat products and decideed to eat a little healthier. The salad looks really good, but I don't think there's gonna be enoughg to go around.
