At 02:22 Saturday morning, Chief 82, Tower Ladder 82 and Squad 88 were dispatched to Lakeview Apartments for an activated fire alarm in the rental office. Chief 82 and TL82 arrived in the complex approximately 5 minutes later to fire showing from the Bravo side and transmitted the Working Fire box. SD88 then arrived, securing their own water supply, and stretching a hoseline to initiate fire attack while the Tower crew prepared to make entry. Rapidly advancing fire conditions prompted the All Hands and 2nd Alarm within 10 minutes of arrival, and a shift to defensive operations. 2 additional water supplies were established, and a total of 3 aerial streams and multiple handlines were placed in service. After nearly 90 minutes the fire was placed under control, however crews remained on location until nearly noon assisting with the investigation and hitting hot spots. No injuries were reported, and the fire is under investigation by local, county, and state authorities.
As always thank you to all of the Mutual Aid companies that responded and also to those that provided additional coverage to the area while crews were committed.
