Fire ... the Aftermath
On September 11 th the tones went off at approx. 3 a.m. for a structure fire. We were one of the many responding engines. It was a condo fire. Here are a couple of pics of the outside of the condo taken the next morning. 
The inside pics show where the ventilation cuts were made by the truck company on the roof. They cut a strip on the condo next door so as to stop the possible fire spread to the rest of the complex. Our crew was in the condo next door and we cut through the walls with our axes and found charring and fire so we got a hoseline up to the third floor and put it out...stopping the spread.
This larger pic shows the interior of the condo that burned. As you can see nothing is recognizable. All the crews on scene did a great job.
