Time: 03:00

Location: 8 Tod Road

Frequency: 151.445

Units Operating: E1 (still for smoke in the area)

Assignment Filled out on the "urgent": E4, T1, T2, C2 R2

Description Of Incident: Companies were on scene at approximately 1930 hours on 02-23-2008 for smoke in this house under renovation. A small fire involving a transformer and some blown-in insulation was found and quickly extinguished in the attic area and overhauled well. At 03:30, E1 was dispatched on a still alarm to an area near the original incident on Tod Road for smoke in the area. Once in the area, a huge amount of smoke was visibile with "the smell" of work in it. On a hunch, E1 crew went to 8 Tod Road and found the house fully charged with smoke emmitting out of every vent in the house. E1 requested the alarm to be filled out with a full first alarm assignment. E1 vented the building safely and found the seat of the fire within a few minutes and began extinguishment. The fire is under investigation and the Deputy Fire Marshal has ruled out rekindle but has not ruled out questionable electrical installations.
