3rd Alarm Building Fire

 

March 10th

 

At approx. 0730 hrs, Co56 units were dispatched to 135 Knobsville Road for the building fire. Chief 1-57 was in the area and called for 2nd alarm as E1-56, Truck 56, and Tanker 56 responded. First in E1-56 arrived with 4 to find a business attatched to a two story apartment building and multiple greenhouses well off. Crews advanced a line up the stairs to the apartments where they encountered dense smoke and heat conditions. With structural collapse beginning to occur, Command was forced to back out and begin a defensive attack. A 3rd alarm assignment was dispatched due to the lack of manpower and water. The fire was brought under control and units were released.
