| 4th Due For the Apartment
Building on Fire |
|
August 12, 2010- As
strong, powerful thunderstorms were moving through the area,
the 44-03 box was dispatched at 0521 hours for a reported
apartment building on fire at 2964 Fillmore Dr. Units
from Station 4 arrived to find a 2-story, middle of the row,
ordinary construction townhouse with heavy smoke showing
from the roof area. Heavy fire was then found to be
showing from side c. Upon entry, crews found heavy
fire in the attic area of 2964 and quickly determined that
it was extending to 2966. Crews from Station 4 and 13
quickly knocked down all visible fire and began to open up.
Upon the arrival of Engine 15-1 and Rescue Squad 15, Command
44 instructed them to report to side c and assist with
overhaul operations there and inside of 2966. Crews
remained on the scene performing extensive overhaul
operations for several more hours. It is believed that
this fire was a result of a lightning strike from those
passing storms. Command 44 released company 15 units
at 0811 hours. Engine 15-1 and Rescue Squad 15
