11/29/21 Pearl River, NY – Firefighters originally received this call as an AFA, but companies found fire involving the insulation in the basement of the Rise Shooting Range. Firefighters had a difficult time accessing the fire, which continued to grow and intensify. Multiple holes were made in the store floors in an attempt to fill the basement with hi-ex foam. This attempt was futile.
Twelve hours later, conditions continued to worsen forcing an exterior attack to be undertaken. Three aerial ladders, a tower ladder, and multiple 2.5″ hand lines operated into multiple storefronts for hours. The fire eventually erupted in various stores and through the roof before being brought under control after a wrecking crew was brought in to expose hot spots.
Oak Park companies were dispatched shortly before 10pm for a house fire at 604 N. Grove in Oak Park. Companies arrived to find fire on the 2nd and 3rd floor of a 2.5-story frame single-family house. Two lines were pulled off of Oak Park E602 to the 2nd and 3rd floor, while a 3rd line was used to hit hot spots on the exterior of the house. Companies worked for approximately 2 hours. All occupants, their dogs and cat made it out safely.
Companies on scene: Oak Park E602, E603, T631, A611, A612, Bn3, Forest Park E401 and Cicero H&L 2.
