Aurora, CO 2nd Alarm 10/27/13

[Guest]

Aurora Firefighters were dispatched to a reported apartment bedroom on fire at 14896 East 2nd Avenue.  While en-route, dispatch said this was a home daycare with 3 children inside.  First due Engine 8 found a working fire on the 2nd floor, auto exposing the 3rd floor and transmitted a second alarm. E8 advanced an 1 3/4" on tank water to the fire apartment and T8 began searches.  Here is a short, early video clip courtesy of AFD and used with permission.

I arrived about 20 minutes into the incident and only minor overhaul work was going on.  As it turns out, the dispatcher misunderstood the RP who said her 3 children were at day care (not home).
