Working Fire Cranston, RI 141 Princess Ave March 11, 2013 - NRIfirePhotos - 03-21-2013 Cranston, RI ~ Engine 3 was sent out to investigate reported smoke from the roof at 141 Princess Ave on March 11, 2013. Smoke was showing from a 2-sty wood framed dwelling as they arrived. A working fire was requested to the scene. Engine 3’s crew stretched in a 1 ¾” attack line to the first floor. The crew found fire on the first floor front rooms. There were unconfirmed reports of occupants on the second floor. Next due companies’ secured water supply to Engine 3 and backed up interior operations. The fire appeared to be knocked down in the room of origin but the firefighters on the second floor saw signs of extension. Walls were opened proving vertical extension to the attic. Ladder 1’s crew climbed their aerial to the roof on the Alpha side and opened the hip roof releasing charged smoke. The attic space was filled with high heat and smoke that quickly turned to fire once the right mixture of oxygen was introduced. A hose line was placed through the attic scuttle access to attack the fire. The quick teamwork proved positive, as the flames were slayed before more destruction occurred. The exhausted first alarm firefighters where relieved as the recruit class of 20 probationary members arrived on scene to pick up the hose lines. The fire was under control in an hour without any injuries.
