On Monday February 5, 2007 at 1434 hours, Chief 6B (Montgomery), Engine 62 (S/O Collins), and Tanker 6 (Mann) were alerted to Company 5's (Dunkirk) first due for the house fire. Units arrived to find smoke showing from the upper floors. Upon further investigation, fire was found in the walls of the 1st and 2nd floor. Engine 62 arrived on location and was assigned to RIT. This only lasted for a few minutes though, and they were re-routed to the Interior Division to assist in overhaul by opening up the walls and removing floor boards to expose some hot spots. The fire was quickly contained and extinguished. Units from Huntingtown operated until 1538 hours. Pictures courtesy of Company 5.
