Woonsocket, RI ~ A second floor fire in a multi apartment building at 229 Greene Street in the city’s Bernon Section required 2 alarms to bring under control on April 18, 2013. Companies arrived to find smoke showing from the 2 story wood framed structure early in morning. A working fire was called bringing in all of the city’s apparatus.
Attack lines were stretched to the second floor Bravo/Charlie rooms and quickly knocked the bulk of the fire down. The fire did extend into the attic space above the fire rooms. Ladder companies opened the roof in two spots releasing the trapped brown smoke into the sky. Roof crews reported that they had fire rolling in the shed roof dormer space.
Interior troops opened up the ceiling trying to expose the blaze. Quick-thinking aggressive work kept the fire from destroying the structure. The blaze was placed under control in 30 minutes. Out of town companies covered the empty firehouses.
