That fire started in the early morning hours and unfortunately had a victim that had not been found yet. Additional crews such as ours were brought in to relieve the initial crews that had been working for several hours in the frigid temps. Due to structural collapse and conditions the initial crews had to back out and go defensive. Engine 241 assisted for 4.5 hours until the victim was recovered. The station remained staffed with 6 personnel. Our thoughts go out to the family. (No pictures of this incident will be posted)
