As the clock struck midnight, Kuhl
Hose was called to assist Brookside with RIT. Chief 250
arrived, reported a working fire and requested an
additional engine from Kuhl Hose. A 2 car garage was
fully involved with fire extension into the residence.
Engine 242 arrived, established water supply and
stretched hand lines to the fire in the garage and 2nd
floor of the residence. Upon arrival 683 setup the RIT
on the A-B corner and did a 360 walk-around of the
structure. The crew from 682 went inside division 2 to
aid in suppression efforts. 687 was returning from an
EMS call and also responded as the RIT Ambulance. The
RIT was downsized and part of the crew was put to work
with the overhaul on division 2. Crews returned just
before 02:00. The Fire is under investigation by the
Fire Marshal and Brookside Fire Department.
