4 Alarms & Special Calls - Piedmont, WV 1/9/2014

Sorry, just now checking in Tim.

 

The tower was originally down a little further next to the buidling. The initial placement was in the middle of the street on the bravo side near the bravo/charlie corner. The thought was that we could use the bucket on either side, begin on the corner, but the guide wires from the pole kept us to the bravo side.

 

The tower crew was sent to the roof of the rear building to vent, however due to the conditions + the age and deteriorating building, the crews felt that it wasn't safe to do so. My guys said that the roof was extremely spongy. After the crews retreated, and conditions deteriorated, the ladder pipes were opened up for a bit.

 

A short bit later, the tower had to be broken down and moved due to signs of potential collapse on the bravo side. The pic that Carey got was just after backing up and the crew began to set up the ladder again.

 

The E/T's crew originally attempted ventilation in the middle building, but due to a ladder pipe opening up, we got off the roof. Must have been some miscommunication. Shrug

We later went into the apartment building to the rear of the library to ensure no other people were in the building and to check for extension early on. Had to be one of the most cut up and junked up buildings I've ever been into.

 

BTW, tell Carey she did great with these pics!
