City of Rye dispatched to Reported Structure Fire.

Engine 191 arrived first due and reported smoke showing.

Ladder 25 advised flames showing, recommended to transmit a 10-75. 2421 called 60-control to tone out a Working Fire and later requested Harrison Engine to stand-by at Rye Station 2 and Harrison Ladder to stand-by in their quarters.

E192 layed in from the hydrant at Walker and Glen Oaks with Two 3" lines that were then connected to intakes on E191, which operated One 1-3/4" line into the structure, and One 1-3/4" line up the aerial of L25.

The roof teams provided vertical ventilation to aid the hose team in the attic in knocking down the fire. This was achieved by two teams, one operating off the aerial of L25 and one reaching the roof by ground and roof ladders.

All units were 10-8 by 0045, and members worked until 0200 at Station 2 repacking hose on E192.

Another good save (second one in less than a week) by Rye FF's, and in terrible weather conditions.
