    May 11th 2008- Residential Structure Fire

     

    Shortly after 2 a.m. on Sunday, May 11 WCRS stations were alerted to a reported structure fire at 340 Kinnie Road in Station 22's area. E22 arrived on scene and laid out a 4" supply line from the end of the driveway. 2240 (Capt. Sloan) arrived and reported a two-story, detached garage with heavy fire showing and established command. Further investigation revealed a severe exposure problem as the involved structure was only 5 feet from the main house with the fire directly impinging on the house. A 1-3/4" attack line was placed in service to protect the exposure. A 2-1/2" attack line was stretched to attempt a knockdown of the main body of fire. Water supply issues early in the operation proved to be the biggest obstacle, but diligent work by handline crews prevented extension to the main house and limited fire damage to the facia board on the roof line. E20 arrived and supplied water to E22 while setting up for a tanker shuttle operation. Tankers 25 and 26, along with mutual aid tankers from Brentwood FD and Fairview FD, provided water from hydrants located approximately one mile away. A mutual aid engine company from the Franklin FD provided additional manpower. WMC Medic 22 provided the rehab sector. Crews worked for approximately 3 hours knocking down and overhauling.
