2nd Alarm, Gresham, OR 1-22-2014

[Guest]

On Jan. 22 around 3PM Portland Dispatch started to get calls for a house fire in Gresham and they transmitted a box. Shortly after the Gresham companies arrived they ordered a 2nd alarm for a 2-1/2 story house with heavy fire showing from the C side. Truck 71 opened the roof as the other companies stetched lines and knocked the heavy fire down.

Portland Eng. 31, Truck 2 and C3 responded on the 2nd alarm, along with other Gresham companies.



 



Portland C3 helping with a line.


A large propane tank had been involved.



Portland C3 still helping.





Checking for hidden fire with the T.I.C. (Thermal Imaging Camera).





There was minor extension to the house on the right.


Looking east. Gresham C7 (SUV on the left) is Command.


Probably Gresham Eng. 74, first due.



The Portland crews changing tanks at C3's rig.
