| On Tuesday April 10, 2007, at 2253 hours, Company 6 (Huntingtown) and surrounding units were alerted to 1005 Morning Dove Lane for the basement fire. Units from Huntingtown responding were: Chief 6 (Riffe), Chief 6B (Montgomery), Chief 6C (Hayes), Engine 61 (Jones, J), Squad 6 (Lt Thrasher), Tanker 6 (Sgt Kerns), and Ambulance 69 (Gadway, J). First arriving Chief 6 and Engine 21 (Prince Frederick) arrived to find a two-story house with nothing showing. A line was quickly advanced to the rear where moderate smoke conditions were found. Inside, a smoldering vacuum cleaner was the culprit with extension to the wall studs. The remaining fire was quickly extinguished with a PW can. The box was quickly held to Company 6 units and Engine 21. The crew from Squad 6 ventilated the residence and checked the fire area with the Thermal Imager. Command was terminated at 2340 hours. |
