Storage Unit Fire, Parker CO 04/27/14

[Guest]

 

We roll no less than 21 personnel on a single family dispatch, and 31 go on a high rise or commercial over 50,000SF.  Having the extra hands there without having to call for them makes ops so much easier.

 

As for the photo series, great series of images, as always.

 

Thanks!  We deal with typical suburban staffing where some Engines only have 3 when paired with a Medic Unit.  Single Engines and Towers all have 4.  We do around 24 for a residential and 32 for a commercial or multi family.

 

Great set!  BTW how does a fire like this one even get started?  Someone leave a light on by accident or something?

 

It sounds like someone pulled a sedan nose first into a garage and there was a mechanical issue that sparked the fire.  With unsealed tin walls the fire spread quickly in all lateral directions.
