This afternoon I heard Elizabeth Fire toned to a residential structure fire. Chief 271 immediately requested a 2nd Alarm and reported flames & smoke visible from miles away. My father lives in the area which is quite far from my house so I "dispatched" him to the call. Crews found a large 2 story with walk-out house fully engulfed on arrival. With no hydrants a tender shuttle was needed.

First due Engine 271 laid a supply line from the end of the driveway and positioned for defensive operations.

Thankfully there was only a light wind today, flying brands ignited a vegetation fire that the neighbors jumped into action on. Two brush trucks were special called and the fire didn't extend too far.

The delta side of the house had a brick facade that held up better, but there was still fire throughout.
