1st Due Fire for #1 Platoon |
|
January 25, 2010 - Just minutes before midnight, Units with the 2nd Battalion Chief were sent to 211 F Street NE for the house. Engine 3 (1st Due) arrived to find a 2 story middle of the row with smoke showing. After determining that the fire was in the basement, and Engine 10 was not able to make entry from the rear, Engine 3 pushed down the stairs to the basement and extinguished the fire. Battalion 2 held Engine 3 and Truck 7 to assist the fire investigators. Guess we still own a little part in North East…. |

It’s Finally Back ! 9 months later we finally get our Wagon Back. It was placed out of service the first week in April 2009 for Minor Pump Work. In the end we have a totally re-built pump. Rumor has it that this will become a water supply piece in the very near future, so stay tuned. |
