| While Enroute CC911 advised of the back of the house on fire . Chief 148 arrived confirming the dispatch. Chief 41 arrived shortly after assuming command . E241 crew arrived and deployed a handline to the front door. Crews forced entry and were met with fire conditions on the first floor that extended out of the back of the house. E241 crew made a quick knock on the first floor and worked their way to the second floor. Crews were met with fire at the top of the stairs .
All searches were negative and crews spent significant time opening up and completing salvage and overhaul operations. Company 41 was committed on the scene for a little over 2 hours.
Thankfully the resident was able to get out and had no injuries. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them during this difficult time .
Many thanks to Northeast Fire & Rescue Company for transferring the tanker with a crew of 4 . While we were committed on our incident Tanker 20 handled a fire alarm in Middlesex township. Our friends from Co.20 stayed on station upon our return and helped clean up hose and re pack attack lines on Engine 241. We cannot thank them enough for their support and continued working relationship !!!
