|| SAFD || 2 ALARM APARTMENT FIRE || 09.26.16 || The SAFD battled a 2-alarm apartment fire on the city’s north east side Tuesday afternoon. Shortly after 1300hrs, crews were dispatched to the 3900 Blk. of Perrin Central Blvd for a reported odor of smoke in the area. Upon Engine 39’s arrival, smoke was seen billowing out of a C-Side, division 3 (3rd floor) apartment and a working fire was declared.

Upon Battalion Chief 7’s arrival and assumption of command, fire began running into the attic of the fire apartment, and more manpower was needed. Shortly thereafter a 2nd Alarm was struck. After a chimney collapsed and fire spread through the walls into division 2, command changed strategies and crews went defensive. The set up master stream operations off of Platform Ladder Co. 51 and Truck Co. 14, and deployed multiple hand lines. Crews remained on scene for well over two hours mopping up and doing extensive overhaul throughout the entire apartment building.

No injuries were reported, though there were numerous pets rescued, including a family’s hamster. Companies on the box were EN39, EN24, EN40, EN17, EN23, EN51, EN14, EN48, EN31, EN06, TK14, TK17, TK40, TK06, PL51, M18, HR51, BC05, BC06, BC07, SO1, EMS03, EMS04, and MAC07.

|| SAFD || WORKING HOUSE FIRE || 09.24.26 || Saturday afternoon’s line of strong thunderstorms kept the SAFD and SAPD busy with plenty of work, including this 1-Alarm structure fire in the 1310 block of Cresswell Cove on the city’s far north side. First arriving Truck Co. 46 had “… fire through the roof of a 2-story residential structure …”, and stated that they were pulled a “green line” from the neighbor’s house for fire attack (some SAFD truck companies do not have pumps or a water tank). As first-due Engine 46 was caught up on another call, they requested the next arriving engine company to lay a supply line and pull a preconnect. The fire was held in the attic space and extensive salvage and overhaul was done to save the second floor furnishings. Companies stayed on scene for well over two  hours completing overhaul. Units on the Box were EN46, EN14, EN43, EN48, T46, T43, T14, M46, EMS1, BC6, and a Mobile Air Compressor unit.
