Intial dispatch was for Co. 7 Rice (1st Due), and Co. 1 Farmville (2nd Due) to respond to a structure fire on Lockett Rd at 09:57. While enroute to the call, a third company (Burkeville) was added to the assignement per 702. Before Engine 1-2 arrived on scene, Fire Marshall-1 advised that he was on scene, and that it was a fully envolved structure with fire coming out of both the first and second story on the alpha side. Once on scene crews deployed multiple handlines to extinguish the fire, and tanker shuttles for water supply. Scene was marked under control at 10:40. Crews then stayed on scene to hit hot spots, and put down a layer of foam on the structure. All Co. 1 units were back in quaters, safely at 1:27pm.
