Cumberland, RI ~ A quick notification to the fire department kept this second floor fire damage to a minimum at 15 Mowry Street on January 29, 2013. Valley Falls Engine 1 arrived to find smoke showing from a 2.5sty wood framed dwelling. Lincoln Ladder 51 was special called on the working fire. An attack line was stretched up the stairway on the Bravo side to the second floor.
Lincoln’s ladder arrived first and was ordered to open the roof. They raised the stick to the Delta side and opened a vent hole over the fire. The interior attack line crew knocked the fire down as the roof was popped open. The coordinated fire attack and vent work was timed perfectly. The walls and attic flooring was opened and checked for any vertical extension.
The fire was placed under control with no injuries reported.
