Sunday September 9, 2007 at 0632 hours, Engine 62 (Hildwine) and Squad 6 (Lt Thrasher) were alerted to Company 1's (North Beach) first due for the house fire on 13th Street in Randle Cliffs. Police units arrived along with Company 1 units reporting heavy fire showing from the rear and into the attic. Apparently the fire originated on the outside, worked it's way up the wall into the attic and quickly spread through the entire attic. Bystanders were also reporting a female missing and possibly trapped. Crews immediately went to work knocking down all fire and putting a quick knock on it. Squad 6 arrived on location and assisted with completing the search (proved negative) and also assisting with opening up the walls and ceiling. The assignment was quickly held to Company 1, Squad 6, and Tanker 5. Huntingtown crews remained on the scene until 0800 hours.
