*** Working Fire w/ Rescue ***

At 5:07PM Company 3 was alerted to a first due fire on Brooks Rd in the 305-1 box. E313 hit the street at dispatch with Tower 3 following soon after. While en route dispatch received reports of a single person trapped in the basement and upgraded the assignment.

E313 arrived and identified a fire in the basement of a single story home. The crew immediately deployed a hose line and made entry into the basement. E313 faced hoarder conditions and zero visibility but were able to locate a resident in the fire room. E313's Sergeant carried the resident out of the basement where they were handed off to EMS. The victim was transported by ground to a local burn center and is in stable condition.

Tower 3 arrived shortly after as the second due unit and laddered the building, finished the primary search, and opened up for the engine crew. The auxiliary also responded with U388 to rehab units.

We will come search for you.
