Around 11:00 a neighbor called 911 and reported smoke coming from the house next door. First arriving Battalion Chief 1 found smoke showing from the roof of a single story, single family dwelling and the windows appeared boarded. The neighbor reported the occupants out of town and smoke was pouring out of the air vents. Squirt 12 advanced a 1 3/4 line to the alpha side while Medic 11 opened up the charlie side for positive pressure attack.
Littleton, CO Hoarding House Fire 1/12/13
|
Initially the attic checked clear of extension, but smoke conditions began getting worse.
PPA was stopped at this point and companies started to pull ceiling
Smoke conditions began to deteriorate again and interior crews were unable to access the main body of fire.
Although it wasn't visible for my camera, South Metro's Safety Officer was observing flashover conditions in the basement with his TIC after everyone had just exited the structure and a PAR was being conducted.
Nice shots!
gotta love PPV fire attack..nothing like moving the fire into areas it hasn't consumed yet...
