Omaha, NE - Working Fire - April 26, 2014
#1
My daughter and I were out running our Saturday errands when I heard Omaha Fire dispatch companies to a reported house fire in the 5300 block of North 27th Avenue. Dispatch advised companies that there was a domestic dispute in progress and that one of the parties lit a can of gas in the kitchen.

 

Companies on the initial dispatch were E21, E22, E5, T21, M21, R33, B1 and B2.

 

Engine 21 arrived first a reported heavy smoke and fire on approach and laid in with a 5" supply line. A working fire was declared. Rescue 30 (air supply) was added to the run.

 

Companies initially tried an interior attack, but had to pull out for a few minutes due to the fire conditions. 

 

Engines 23 and 41 were added to the run.

 

We had about a nine mile drive from where we were located. The fire was pretty much darkened down, but there were still some pockets of fire.

 

One supply line and three 1-3/4" hand lines were used.

It was hard to get a shot of Rescue 33's new Rosenbauer Commander. I believe it was delivered late last year.

Ladder 21 runs with this Spartan/Toyne/RK rig with a 75' aerial. 

 

This is one of two 70-75' aerials in front-line service with the OFD. The other is a 70' Sutphen tower at Truck 31. Both rigs are straight trucks - no pumps or tanks.
