Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #1150

Company-22 was dispatched to 462 North Street for a basement fire. Engine-22 arrived on side-1/4 and pulled a line to the basement. Truck-22 had initially set up on side-1/2, but repositioned to side-2. Engine-23 pulled in behind the Truck-22 and pulled a second line which was never charged. Engine-24 stood by at the hydrant at North Second and Pine Streets, and their crew was utilized as RIT. EMS staged on Pine Street. The house was full of smoke all the way to the attic. The first-in attack crew found the seat of the fire in a corner of the basement and found it was traveling up through several voids to the first floor. The fire was held to the corner of the basement, with heat and smoke up the basement stairway. Probably less than 20 gallons of water was used on the fire. PPV was used to clear the house and further checks for extension were negative.
