South Plainfield N.J. 2nd Alarm 4/4/13

[Guest]

 

Central Dispatch was flooded with 911 calls reporting a structure fire on West Avenue late this afternoon.  Arriving fire units located a middle of the block two story class five structure fully involved.  All occupants were reported to be out on arrival.  A second alarm was transmitted and Command was established by DC Mocharski.  Engine 4 grabbed the plug on Peek and West and members stretched in with an 1 3/4 and a 2 1/2 as the initial attack lines.  Truck 7 setup on side A and raised the bucket to the roof.  A Plainfield engine and a Truck Company from New Market Fire assisted on scene.  After knocking down the bulk of the fire, companies advanced inside and continued suppression and overhaul efforts.  There were no immediate exposure issues.  Searches were negative and the fire was placed under control by Chief Scalera.

What happened between the first and second photos? There had to be a lot of time elapsed.
