Montgomery County Fire and Rescue units responded to a building fire at the Shady Grove/Rockville Apartment Complex in Rockville, MD yesterday morning at approx 4:15 a.m.  The fire eventually went to three alarms.  I arrived to take photos late and missed the brunt of the fire, though crews were still dousing hot spots from tower ladders and working on extensive overhaul.

4 Alarms Westford Ma – fire was in an occupied dwelling. No one was home at the time of the fire, but the fire did have a significant head start prior to arrival.  On arrival FF’s had heavy fire conditions out the front door pushing them back unable to gain entry.  Seven area departments arrived on scene mutual aid.  Hydrant lines were about 1 mile away from the building.  It took about 90 minutes to bring the blaze under control.

5 residents; 2 adults and 3 children were left homeless.  The fire was a total loss.

Hartford, CT responded to 19 Colebrook St on 10/20/13 @1458 hours for a report of a structure fire. Ladder 4 arrived and reported heavy fire showing from  floor #1. Soon after arrival, companies were advised of an occupant trapped. With heavy fire on floor #1  extending upward, companies were attempting searches when Ladder 3 noticed the male in the window of the attic (floor #3) and were able to rescue him using the bucket of their tower ladder. With fire conditions in the house getting worse, a 2nd alarm was transmitted. The occupant and two firefighters were transported to the hospital with unknown injuries.  During this fire, there was another structure fire reported in Hartford, so mutual aid was requested  to cover the city.

Stay safe,
