so it was not a structure fire ???

due to the fact that this compactor unit is attached directly to the building, with the wall breached at the "compactor feeding point", this WOULD be considered a structure fire (at least in the dept. that I work in).

This was NOT a structure fire. The compactor is not attached to the building at all (there is no feeding point from inside). The 10-75 was issued due to the proximity of the compactor to the building, and the fact that a 53' trailer was parked within two feet of the compactor as well. Mind you, this was also a day-time call, and the 10-75 was necessary to bring in enough people for the operation.

good point for the day time calling a 10-75 and just look at the pics you can see its not attach to the building with a stair case and a door right behind it

Structure fire, not a structure fire...whatever.

Glad to see SCBAs being used. You never know what kind of crap is in those compactors.

+1 Reputation point for those doing the right thing.
