Description Of Incident: Working fire in a 3-story residential

Writer: SageVigiles

Dispatched as a fire in the cable wires and/or TV, language issue and juvenile making the initial call.

E21 first due, reporting flames showing from the 3rd floor, calling the Signal 73 (Working Fire)

E24 requesting PD to shut down Elm Street at 2nd, laying 5" across it.

Car 19 assumed command, switched on scene communications to Channel 3

E32 checking 2nd floor for extension, T22 checking the roof.

Fire knocked down relatively quickly, units searched for some extension into the ceiling of the 2nd floor and some into the attic.

Sounded like a good knockdown by the guys on scene.
