On March 23rd at 1856hrs the Androscoggin Country Communications Center alerted the Livermore Fire Department, Livermore Falls Fire Department, Turner Fire Department and Leeds Fire Department to the reported structure fire on Pike Road in Livermore. Additional resources we requested from Jay Fire as well as Wilton Fire as the RIT team. Upon the first arriving unit confirming a working fire Canton Fire Department was requested due to the size of the building.
The fire had an approximately 10 minute head start prior to fire department arrival, and crews for Livermore Engine 1 deployed attack lines to the second floor and achieved a quick knock of the fire. Extensive damage was reported to the second floor however most of the house was saved.
During overhaul fire was found on the first floor. This was due to the construction of the home. Ballon frame homes are typical in our town and across New England and often have atypical fire spread due to the openness of the framing.
We would like to thank all our mutual aid partners as well as Maine Health EMS, CMP, and the Sheriffs Department for their assistance on scene as well.
Approximately 40 firefighters responded. Engines 1 and 2 with Rescue 4 responded and Engine 1 was the primary attack and first due piece of apparatus.
