Couple of shots from a fire in Kitchener 2/5/20. Fire started in the basement around the wood stove. Heavy smoke on arrival. We were already responding to call as PC reported heavy smoke and asked for an extra pumper. Tough fire to fight, had a walk in door to the basement on E3, but no windows. Crews went in with zero visibility and fire above their heads. Backed out right away and pulled additional lines. Fire eventually took hold of the main floor. The house is a total loss.

February 14, at19:22 Kitchener fire dispatch received a cell phone call reporting a house on fire at the corner of Lorraine and Heritage Dr. Pump 3 arrived on scene and reported the garage was fully involved and likely had extension into the house. Three 1.5” lines were pulled to extinguish the fire. The fire extended into the basement and into the living room above. Twenty fire fighters knocked the fire down in 30 minutes. Damage was pegged at $300,000.
