Wednesday, March 19 at approximately 9:18 pm:
E4 was dispatched on a report of
a residential fire alarm. Crew Members
arrived on scene to find a two story residence with no fire or smoke showing;
however an audible alarm could be heard coming from inside the residence. While walking around the home checking for
hazards, E4’s officer found water flowing out from under a door of the
home. E4’s officer established command
and requested E2 to respond due to a possible sprinkler controlled fire. Personnel made access to the home and
discovered that a water line had broken inside causing significant damage to
the interior. E2 arrived on scene and
BFR personnel shut off all utilities to the home, including water, and began
the salvage and overhaul process.
Salvage covers were used to protect as much undamaged contents of the
home as possible. R1 responded to the
scene with a wet/dry vacuum to assist with water removal. Contact with the homeowner was made via phone
and the property was secured. With no
further hazards found, all BFR units returned to quarters.
