Report or Smoke Coming from a garage
On Friday October 22nd South Coventry, North
Coventry and Eagleville Station 107 were dispatched to the town of Coventry for
report of a structure fire. Deputy Chief Rick Landry arrived on scene and
gave a report of heavy smoke showing from a single story detached garage.
ET308 out of Station 208 was the first to arrive on scene and ET208 was on scene
shortly there after. Interior attack was made by FF B. Jones and Heidi
Hodgkins. They made a quick stop and a great knock down. The fire
was located in the B-C Corner and extended to the attic space above the garage.
Ventilation was achieved by opening up the gable end vents. A small amount
of fire was found in the attic space and was quickly knocked down.
Apparatus responding ET208, ET308, R508, ET311, ET211, R211, R111 and ET107.
Thanks to all members from every department who assisted.
