The rest of the day was absolutely dead...we were at the drug store to
get some provisions when were heard Highland park go to a porch fire.
The officer questioned the dispatch saying there were no buildings left
at the given intersection. We responded anyway.".just in case". We
arrived before they had gotten water to the tower. A few anxious moments
were heard on the radio..something to the effect of get some water on
the handlines or we will burn up the rig! As we have often said, these
guys have almost no manpower, and 2 of the 3 rigs are in really bad
shape. They had to stretch several hundred feet of LDH to get a working
hydrant. It sounds like both of these dwellings were pretty much rolling
when they arrived. The radiant heat was such that you could hardly get
near these things. You cant tell from the photos but these were big 2
1/2 story frames..the last ones remaining on the block...
