Pawtucket, RI ~ On January 17, 2013 around 1600hrs the Pawtucket Fire Alarm Office received multiple calls for a possible building fire at 171 North Bend Street. The first in companies had heavy fire showing from a vacant 2sty wood framed structure. The building was boarded up after having a fire in it about 6 months prior. There were several holes in the floors and opened walls on all floors from the previous fire.

 

 

Big lines were stretched to protect the exposures on the Bravo and Delta sides from the heavy overlapping fire. The plywood sheathing was pulled off of the windows to open up the structure. Interior attack on the fire was halted by command as the fire was now making it’s way out of the roof.


Defensive operations commenced for 20 minutes to bring the fire under control. Members were allowed back in the structure to further open up and expose the hidden fire. The fire did flare up in the Delta sidewalls and attic prompting command to once again use a ladder pipe and 2 ½” line from the exterior.

 

Companies chased hot spots for some time after the fire was classified as knocked down. The fire is listed as suspicious because of the previous fire and lack of utilities in the building.


The dwelling did suffer a third fire later that night. Heavy fire was showing from the A-side eaves and roofline. This 3rd fire was quickly contained.
