Littleton Condo Fire 7-17-15

[Guest]

On Friday afternoon units were dispatched to a vegetation fire threatening a structure in the 5700 Block of South Pearl Street.  While en-route companies reported a black column in the air and numerous 911 callers reported a building on fire.  Due to the boarder location Denver Fire Department was also dispatched brining two alarms worth of units on the initial response. 

 

First arriving Ladder 12 reported a working fire and made a transitional attack with a 2 1/2" which quickly knocked the main body of fire.  I arrived and bunked up just after that occurred.  The line can be seen on the ground here.
