Two House Fires, Metro Denver 1/15/13

[Guest]

On Monday morning Littleton Engine 17 was dispatched to a residential fire alarm. While responding neighbors called 911 and reported black smoke from the roof and an elderly female inside. E17 found smoke & flames showing from the bravo & charlie sides of what they thought was a garage extension. The elderly occupant was assited out by neighbors and was quickly transported for smoke inhalation. A 1 3/4 line was advanced to the charlie side where a transitional attack was used. A second 1 3/4 was taken through the alpha side of the house which was found with moderate smoke on all floors. The fire was placed under control within 15 minutes and held to a "mother-in-law suite" that had been added to the first level.
