Gresham C7



Portland Truck 7 pulled in beside Gresham Truck 71.







Truck 71 went to the roof.





2 of the occupants and their cat.




Fire was venting nicely. Time to vacate the roof.





Portland C3 was Safety officer.



Once the fire was venting they were able to pull ceilings and put out the attic fire.

No ladder pipes needed here.



Fire is out. Now Now comes the long overhaul.


 

Firepixer Opie arrived right after E72 so he will post some first due fire shots later.
