After duration on scene, IC requested m/a from Westchester Tech Rescue, stating they needed assistance with shoring of the rear deck. The deck collapsed due to the weight of snow and lawn furnature, and came down onto the tank- due to the safety risk and concern of the workers needing to remove the tank, the deck needed to be stabilized.
