Units arrived to find a single family home with heavy fire throughout the structure. Crews placed multiple handlines in service to protect the exposures and begin an exterior attack on the involved structure. Tower 27 was placed in service and the master stream was utilized. The bulk of the fire was quickly knocked down. Crews remained on scene for an extended time perfoming overhaul and extinguishing the remaining fire.
