Writer:242steve

City of Rye dispatched to an Automatic Fire alarm in a 3-story dwelling on Lane Way. The structure is approx 1500' from the nearest hydrant.

Upon arrival, 2422 and E192 extinguished visible stove fire with chemical extinguisher.

It quickly became apparent that the fire had extended into the wall and ceiling spaces, and heavy smoke starting showing on all floors.

E192 pulled in front of the house, L25 (which is a rearmount) backed in behind E192 in case he had to ladder the roof with the aerial, and E191 wrapped the hydrant and layed in with his entire bed (over 1000') of 5" LDH. 2 lengths of 3" hose relayed from 191 to 192, which operated 2 1-3/4" preconnects into the structure during the course of the job. Meanwhile, U39 tended to the hydrant and diverted traffic.

2422 requested one engine to the scene for manpower, and one engine/one ladder to stand-by for other alarms in Rye.

E61 Port Chester along with Car 2393 responded to the scene with manpower, while E62 (PC) and TL24 (Harrison) stood by.

Rye and PC firefighters made a good save, pulling ceilings and venting windows to ultimately bring the pesky fire under control.

All units were 10-8 by approx 1500 hrs.
