10/24/07 - Structure Fire

At 10:15AM volunteers were alerted to the structure fire on Telephone Tower Road. FF Alldredge arrived in his personal vehicle within 2 minutes and reported heavy fire showing from the roof of the house. Rescue 4 (FF/EMT Wessel) and Engine 2 from Union Hill (FF Paramedic Yanhko) arrived first on the scene and stretched a 1 1/2" attack line to the front of the structure. Engine 1 from Morgan City (FF/EMT McMunn) arrived as the second due engine and laid out 700 feet of 5" supply line from a fire hydrant located on Telephone Tower Road. Engine 4 (FF Keierleber) arrived as the third due engine and staged on the road while the crew assisted on the fireground. Due the advancement of the fire prior to the arrival of the fire department very little could be done to save the house but firefighters were able to prevent a mobile home on Side C from being ignited from the radiant heat. Firefighters operated for just over 5 hours on the call (during which time the BMVFD responded to 4 additional calls across the coverage area). FF/EMT Wessel had the Telephone Tower Road Incident Command and Captain Burns had the Fireground Operations Command.

Brindlee Mountain Engine 2 provides 1 1/2 attack line to the structure.
