| E77 was dispatched at 0334 hours along with Station 54, SD51, and Tankers 66 and 51 for a house trailer on fire in the Ridge View Terrace Trailer Park. Chief 54 arrived on scene to find a working fire with all residents evacuated. E77 responded with a crew of 6 and was the second truck to arrive. Crews went to work suppyling E54 with water and venting the exterior windows. E77 crews then pulled additional hand lines to assist and back up the E54 crew. Several hand lines were used for an interior attack and knock down. The fire was under control in about 45 minutes and E77 remained on scene for about 2 hours for overhaul and hose packing. Tankers 66 and 51 supplied several tanker loads of water. Air 51 was on scene for bottles and Rescue 86 was the FAST Team. |
