2nd Alarm, Gresham, OR 1-22-2014 - Guest - 02-08-2014

On Jan. 22 around 3PM Portland Dispatch started to get calls for a house fire in Gresham and they transmitted a box. Shortly after the Gresham companies arrived they ordered a 2nd alarm for a 2-1/2 story house with heavy fire showing from the C side. Truck 71 opened the roof as the other companies stetched lines and knocked the heavy fire down.

Portland Eng. 31, Truck 2 and C3 responded on the 2nd alarm, along with other Gresham companies.
