August 24, 2009. Engine Company 1 was first on the scene and took the hydrant in front of the school. They took the first hose line up to the second floor and began fighting the fire which had now extended throughout the attic area. A second line was also brought into the house by Engine Company and Tally-Ho Engine 3 members, which had also arrived. When Truck Company arrived they laddered the house while its members helped pull ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms to get at the fire. Later, using a portable ladder, firefighters climbed into the burnt-out attic to put out additional pockets of fire. In the meantime, members from Hose Company, Vulcan Company, and the Emergency Medical Company stood-by. The Command Post was also in operation during the fire and coordinated the mutual aid units and handled communications with FIRECOM.
