Assignment:Engine 108, 106, 103, 428, Truck 106, Rescue 104,
Medic 106,
Battalion 112, FM 114 and EMS 112
Special Call: Engine 102, 101, Truck 104
At 0400, Rescue 104 and Battalion 112 were dispatched as part of
the box assignment for a deck on fire with fire coming into the
house at 5436 22nd Street North. When Engine 108 arrived on scene,
Captain Carter reported heavy fire on side Charlie of the structure.
Engine 108 stretched their 200' line around to side Charlie to knock
down the fire on the exterior of the structure. Rescue 104 got on
scene, and split into two crews to do a primary search of the first
floor and basement. This was Probie Zepeda's first fire. (great
timing since he'd done some heavy search and rescue drilling hours
earlier) Their search truned up negative as all occupants had evacuated
the structure. Engine 103 took a line of their rig, and made an
interior attack on the fire that was quickly spreading to the inside
of the structure. Engine 106, took the 300' from Engine 108, located
the drop down stairs for the attic, and made a stop on the fire
making a run up there. Truck 106 took care of initial ventilation
and opening up. Truck 104 was part of a special call later on in
the incident to assist with additional ventilation and overhaul.
Units started clearing the scene around 0530.
