Tonight we had a structure fire in a single story balloon framed residence. When we pulled up, smoke was pushing out of the vents and windows pretty good. We forced entry into the home and went to work. I’m standing outside putting my mask on when suddenly a woman comes running up to the front door screaming, “What happened! What happened!” We asked her if anybody was inside and she says, “I don’t know!”
We made a primary sweep of the house looking for any possible victims but fortunately no one was trapped. We made quick work of this one but had to spend some time chasing the hot spots through the walls. Those old balloon framed Victorian styles will do that to you. Left the rest up to the investigators.
Here is a picture of our arson Dog named Diesel along with his handler. I also got a shot of the first female firefighter to make Captain with our department. Today was her last shift working as an Engineer/Investigator…………Kudos!
Until New Year’s Eve……

What’s wrong with this picture, I do all the work and you guys get all credit? ( Put the fire out, pump, roll it up, investigate). Haters! Love you guys..
Congratulations Captain Allen.
