The call for this job came in shortly before 8:00 a.m. on Saturday 1/28/12.

Working quickly, crews stretched and operated several hand lines inside and outside the structure to knock the fire down within 15 minutes of arrival. Members spent the next hour or so on scene mopping up/overhauling the building and returned to service by 11:00 a.m. The cause of the fire was determined to be a child who set their bedding on fire on the third floor.
