Working Fire Box 45 35 156 Magazine Street

Shortly after 1 p.m. on Friday, April 18th, a "working fire." Box 45-35, was ordered for the fire in the large, 3-story, multi-residential building at 156 Magazine Street.

Engine 6 (from the River Street fire house) arrived on scene first, with fire & smoke showing from the roof. Engine 6 used the fast attack via deck gun to knock down heavy fire. Simultaneously, engine companies established water supplies & stretched multiple attack lines, while truck companies opened up & overhaud, & searches for residents were completed.


If not for the aggressive & coordinated fire attack by firefighters, the results could have been far more devastating.
