Newport Township FPD in Wadsworth, IL responded to a 4,000 sq ft home that was well-involved on arrival at about 4:30 this morning (9/24/14). The home was located in an area with out hydrants, so the alarm was upgraded quickly to bring many water tankers (tenders) from northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.

Working fire in Buffalo Grove, IL – September 6, 2014

Buffalo Grove firefighters were called to 1062 Harvard Lane in the early morning hours of September 6th for smoke in the house. The area had been hit hard earlier in the day by a fast moving storm that knocked out power to many homes including this one. Thick black smoke met the first arriving companies who quickly found a small fire in the basement, but not before the entire house was charged with smoke. Here are a few images and a short video from the scene

While returning from the 3-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, I was on the Edens Expressway when Morton Grove was dispatched to a reported house fire at  5845 W. Keeney. The response was upgraded to the Code 4 working fire before units arrived based on a report by police that there was a confirmed fire.

I arrived shortly after the first companies that had already made entry. The fire had burned through the first floor roof of the small split-level house but was extinguished quickly. Here are a few images from the scene.

Working fire in Hagerstown, MD – August 4, 2014

Units from the City of Hagerstown Fire Department were toned out at approx. 20:00 hours for the house fire at 423 W. Franklin St.  The box was upgraded quickly to a working fire assignment bringing in most of the city’s fire units including Rescue Squad 20, Air Unit 25, the Rehab & Canteen unit, and Hagerstown Community Rescue Service Co. 75.  Surrounding volunteer companies also responded including the Halfway Volunteer Fire Company bringing in their tower rig.

Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire and smoke showing from the back of the attic and 2nd floor.  They had the fire controlled in about 30 min. but due to the large amount of smoke and water damage, overhaul was extensive and units remained on the scene for close to four hours.  Investigators are still determining the fire’s cause, but it may have started from an electrical issue in the walls of the two-story building.

This was one of the first major working fire assignments for the brand new Hagerstown Engine 1, a 2013 KME Predator with a 1500-GPM pump and 500-gallon tank and foam system.

All units went available around 2350.

Here is the complete assignment via Washington Co. MD Fire Calls FB page:

423 W FRANKLIN ST – HOUSE FIRE – E04,E01,E05,TRK4,TWR26,UT3,CA31,E02,E03,SU32,S754,CO25,SO20,U255,FM3,M754,RS20@ 20:06 (01)

Special thanks to Washington Co. MD. Fire Calls (https://www.facebook.com/WashingtonCoMdFireCalls) for allowing me to post their arrival shots of the fire.
