Wethersfield, Ct had this 2nd alarm on 12/2/13 at 81 Bittersweet Hill at 1130 hours. The 91 year old occupant was removed by a neighbor prior to the FD’s arrival. I was on my way to the Boston Sparks monthly meeting when this came in. Unfortunately I missed the 8th alarm fire in Boston that was right around the corner from the Sparks Club.

Firefighter-Paramedics saved a Live Oak Street home after a passerby reported flames coming from the structure at 21:53, Sunday evening 01-December. Colleton County (SC) Fire-Rescue arrived to find heavy fire conditions with flames through the roof on the “D” side of the structure. Engine 19 deployed two 1-3/4 handlines.  Crews forced entry through the front door and quickly located the fire. They spent approximately 10 minutes bringing the fire under control. It was contained to two rooms, saving the remainder of the single-story wood-frame dwelling. No one was at home when the fire occurred. The cause appears to be electrical in nature and started in the attic. Water supply was handled with tenders. Fire units were on the scene for 2-1/2 hours.

Engine 19, Engine 24, Engine 27, Tender 1, Tender 12, Tender 19, Tender 27, Medic 19, Medic 26, Battalion 1 and Car 12 responded. Battalion Chief Brent Dalton served as Incident Commander.

Thought I would share some photos from Chicago’s south suburbs. This incident occurred in November, 2011 on a Sunday afternoon in the town of Dolton, Illinois. The residents were at church at the time. The address of the fire building is only a block from Dolton’s station 1 and despite the close poximity, Dolton companies reported the Chicago bungalow to be heavily involved on arrival.

The fire appeared to have started in a wood frame porch at the rear of the building and spread throughout the first floor before companies could get water on it.  Due to the heavy volume of fire and concerns over the stability of the building, companies withdrew from the building shortly after an initial interior attack.

The fire eventually broke through the attic and South Holland’s 2010 Pierce Velocity tower ladder was put into use.
