10/19/13 - Carlisle, PA - 2 Alarm Building Fire
#1
October 19, 2013 - South Middleton Township (Cumberland Co.), PA - Around 0415 hours fire companies were sent to the Bonanza Steakhouse on Walnut Bottom Road just outside the Carlisle Borough line for an automatic fire alarm. First arriving units had nothing showing and upon further investigation discovered a haze of smoke inside. As companies were stretching line and preparing to attack the blaze heavy fire consumed the attic area and broke through the roof. Firefighters were withdrawn from the structure and exterior operations initiated. A second alarm was struck and crews operated for over 2 hours to extinguish the flames.

Part of the roof overhang collapsing. This had a void space that contained alot of fire.

With the fire exposed companies were able to get a good knock on the fire.

One of those shots where it looks worse than it was. Roof overhang collapsing exposed a lot of fire.

Business was a total loss and was fairly popular in the area.

Not to Monday morning quarterback, but with amount of fire, shouldnt they be using bigger lines?  Looks like theyre manning 1.75" handlines.  Big Fire, Big Water is what I was taught.  Excellent photos by the way....
