[Guest Photounit]

La Grange, assisted by Arlington, Beekman, East Fishkill, Pleasant Valley, and Union Vale operated at this structure fire at #11 Trinity Way. La Grange was dispatched shortly after 6:00 am for a reported structure fire at that address. LA Grange 47-11 arrived withing several minutes and encountered fire from the A-B corner of the structure with all the occupants out of the structure.....

Walking In.......

Wow....... I'm a little too late.....

Hmmm, "Small" house.......

Porta Tank operation out in the street......

La Grange Command (Career Chief Ward) in the neighbors driveway..........

Tired crowd at the front door.....

Firefighter/Medic Tom Martel was first due with 47-11 and was O/S in several minutes with heavy fire showing.....

Big houses and no hydrants...... East Fishkill 39-33 goes for water after dumping a load.....

Time for some air...... These guys made a great stop......

DCDER Deputy Fire Coordinator Keith Davidson and DCDER Fire Coordinator Kyle Pottenburgh were on the scene.....

Looking out towards the street.....

Another McMansion burns... oh well, I am sure those developers would build another one on the same spot within a month (if it had been beyond repair)...

Cheap particle-board, trusses everywhere... be safe out there with all this "engineered lumber"... designed to hold substantial weight, but not under fire loads. Firefighter killers!!!

I think your one pic is Chief Broas from PV not Chief Ward

Great pics. Thanks.

Can anyone shed some light on the apparatus placement? I was wondering why there were 2 engines in the driveway.

Thanks and be safe,

From Anothe Picture On Bill's Website It Looks Like They Were Having UnionVale Feed LaGrange Engine. I Could Be Wrong But Thats What I See.

Both are in that picture (look behind Broas), but since it was a fire in LaGrange, I would assume that 47-2 was Command, not 56-1...

How many guys staff the career engine? I know they have more during the day but how many at night?

Huh? I know who everyone is, and why they were there, I was just correcting a statement that was made.

What?

Lol, right?

I looked @ the pic on my phone so it was too tiny to see Chief Ward. Good job by those on scene and great pics

[FFEMT150 214]

Great shot as usual. Looks like they had quite a bit of work when they got there!

[JBE 328]

Awesome shots, and looks like a pretty good stop. Nice going!!

[nerdalert 3]

as usual nice photos Bill. I also like that you captured the other side of a fire by showing the homeowner and their dog reuniting, nicely done.
