House Fire in Co. 6's Area

In the afternoon hours of May 24th Engine 750 was alerted as the 2nd due engine for a reported house on fire in Co. 6's first due. Enroute we were moved back on the run to the 3rd due position which is Rapid Intervention per the SOP.

Engine 750 arrived on the scene and assumed duties as the Rapid Intervention Crew on Side Alpha of the 2 and a half story, single family home with reports of smoke on all floors. As the officer performed a circle check, the firefighters deployed our RIC equipment and obtained the stokes and saw from Truck 706 to complete our complement. In the mean time our driver threw a 24' extension ladder to Side Delta of the structure to begin readying the house for rapid evacuation in the event of a RIC deployment. Before more ladders could be deployed the fire was knocked and the incident scaled back to two and one.
