01/07/2011 – “C” Shift – Structure Fire

Incident # 11-00128 - Stations 1, 2 and 6 responded to a structure fire at 233 Ivenia Brown Road south of the Green Pond Community at 0400, Friday morning 7-January. Engine 6 and Medic 6 arrived to find the smoldering remains of a single story brick veneer structure. All that remained was the brick veneer and concrete front porch. The entire interior and floor of the building had already burned away. The home was located well off of the roadway in this rural community. Engine 6 deployed two 1-3/4 handlines to extinguish the remaining fire. Crews pushed down the standing brick walls for safety concerns. No one was currently living in the home, but the power was still on in the building. The previous occupant moved out two weeks ago. Firefighters were on the scene for a little over an hour.

Engine 2, Engine 6, Tender 1, Tender 2, Tender 6, Medic 6, Battalion 1, Car 12 and Car 118 responded. Battalion Chief Dan Barb served as Incident Commander.
