Ladder Assist on Working Residential Fire
New Castle
Friday, July 30, 2010
|
July 30, 2010 - Just after 1:00 am today, we were dispatched for a Ladder assist on a working residential fire on Moores Lane in New Castle. The report also advised there were possibly subjects trapped in the house. Ladder 17 responded with a crew of six and arrived in eight minutes. 175 also responded with a crew of five. Upon arrival, our crews were staged on the front lawn and awaited orders. 175’s crew was assigned the task of ventilating the roof on the ‘B’ side. Ladder 17’s crew threw a 35’ ground ladder to the third floor and advanced a hand line into the attic area to attack the fire. The ladder crew soon realized that the attic was divided into two sections and the fire was located in the ‘B’ side. They then accessed the other side by using a roof ladder from the porch roof and advanced the line into that attic and began to search and extinguish the fire. Simultaneous searches of the residence revealed no subjects were trapped and New Castle PD reported all persons were accounted for. Five Points crews remained on the scene for about 2 ½ hours assisting with overhaul and cleanup. Companies responding were: Goodwill, Holloway Terrace, Minquadale, Wilmington Manor, Minquas, Five Points, Delaware City, Deepwater NJ, State FMO, NCC Medics and Rehab 24.
