And while Winona Lake and Orange Lake were operating at this fire, the stand by companies, Goodwill FD and Plattekill FD, were dispatched for a 2nd fire, reported kitchen fire on 17K. Goodwill arrived on scene first and made a quick knock down while Plattekill hit the hydrant (Yeah I know that sounds funny, Plattekill at a Hydrant)and did some vent work.

That sounds like they had a fun day up there.

I heard the page go out for Winona Lake on my pals pager, then turned it off to keep from disturbing his house guests. Maybe I shoulda kept it on a little longer and went buffing.

Fun day? One of our brothers transmitted a MAYDAY (correct me if I am wrong) and was injured. How's that a fun day?

Brothers - if you read BFD1054's Incident Alert for this job, one of our own needed help within TEN MINUTES AFTER ARRIVAL! This is not uncommon and we need to ensure we have guys on the scene while we're making that initial push that can help us out if s*** hits the fan.

Bad s*** happens quicker than we can expect, and we need to absorb this information and prepare ourselves.

I hope the brother has a fast and full recovery.
