Minneapolis, MN 1st Alarm (Recycling Plant) - 04/02/2013 - firesafe91 - 04-03-2013
Two engines, a ladder and a battalion chief from Minneapolis Fire responded to a commercial business located at 630 Malcolm Avenue SE late Tuesday morning for a reported alarm activation. The building housed a trash processing and transfer facility. Engine 7 arrived and discovered a burning trash pile inside the building and upgraded the response to a full first alarm assignment.
The assignment was E1, E5, E7, E15, L2,L3, R1, Salvage, Mobile Command, Chief 1, Chief 5 and the Deputy Chief. Paramedics from Hennepin County Medical Center stood by at the scene. Engine 19 would have been first due to this address; however they were out of their district for training.
Engine 7 positioned in front of the structure and laid a tank line. Engine 5 laid a supply line from E7 to a hydrant located on Malcolm avenue. The hydrant was located across a set of active railroad tracks. Engine 7 later caught a yard hydrant located near their rig which allowed E5's supply line to be removed from the tracks.
In this photo Engine 5 is breaking down their supply line.
