Springfield, MA W/F 119 Maynard St. 8/15/13
This was the 5th structure fire for the SFD in less than 2 days time. Calls for this job came in at 8:00 p.m. and Engine and Ladder 8 were the first to arrive on scene and confirm the working fire. Companies had heavy fire venting from the Alpha side of the structure and initiated a defensive attack.
