Arson Fire & Explosion, Aurora CO 6-23-14 - Guest - 06-24-2014
At 03:00 Aurora Engine 9, Tower 6 & Battalion 3 were dispatched to an odor investigation at 20304 E Vassar Ave. The RP was the occupant who reported smelling a smoke & chemical odor inside. 3 minutes later numerous 911 callers reported and explosion and flames from the address and a task force was dispatched. On my way there I could see a plume and glow from several miles way.
First due Engine 9 began a transitional attack, my first photos were taken as their tank water was less than 1/4 and the plug was being charged.

Engine 10 quickly arrived behind 9's and pulled a back up line
OV Crew from Tower 6 runs ladders, the occupant was on the phone with 911 and was unable to get out of the backyard on her own.

Engine 10 & Tower 6 made entry, conducted a primary search which proved negative and started pulling ceiling. Truck 8 was assigned as RIC, reported heavy fire in the attic above them and command ordered a withdraw.

Always interesting to see the Bronto set up. Fully off the ground is what they were trained to do every time. Note the step ladder in the lower left corner to access the turntable

Stubborn garage fire. Investigators determined a few hours later that the cause was incendiary.
Last one, hitting hot spots on the soffit
