02/20/09 - House Fire on Cuba Mills Road brings 2nd alarm units and a collapse.
17:14 - Co 2 and 1st alarm units were dispatched to Fermanagh Twp, Cuba Mills Road for a structure fire. Units arrived on scene with a two story single family dwelling with fire showing from the basement and first floors. A second alarm was then requested. Engine 22's crew stretched a 200' 1-3/4" handline to attempt to battle the blaze but high winds and the fire's progress throughout the structure made extinguishment almost impossible. An order was made for all personnel to evacuate from the structure after noticing the structure begin to lean during high winds. At this point fire had consumed the entire structure. Shortly after all personnel was out of the strucutre, it collapsed. After making sure all crews had PAR, and getting a sustainable water supply established, Truck 27's crew went to work with an elevated master stream to knock down a bulk of the inferno. After the fire was knocked down, multiple crews with multiple handlines, hooks and saws went to work extinguishing hidden fires and hot spots. After crews finished with handlines the truck was put into service one last time for elevated master stream operations. No injuries were reported and no one was hurt during the collapse. The blaze was placed under control at 2034 and the box was placed in service by Command 2 at 2045.
