Douglas, MA West Street Working fire
All units dispatched to west street for the structure fire. car 2 signs on the air along with car 1. a police officer on scene reports heavy smoke and possible entrapment of a female victim who has a broken hip and is in a wheel chair. on arrival of car 2 who was already on the road (as the highway super) reports smoke showing and that there was in fact a working fire in the attached garage of a 2 story wood frame with a car inside and everyone was out of the building. engine one signs on and is told to grab the hydrant at grove and west and make the lay in. engine 2 and ladder 1 sign on the air. en route car 1 calls for an engine and taker from Sutton mass, a rescue unit from Webster for RIT and a Northbridge engine to cover the station. after engine 1 makes the lay 2 1/34 lines go to work in the garage while a crew is sent in the house to check for extension and to vent. the fire caused heavy damage to the garage but was kept from extending into the house. after extensive overhaul, cleanup went underway and took a long time due to freezing water, and broken hydrant due to ice (oops my bad, but would of rather had it open and broken than shut and intact). the highway department was called in to sand the road heavily.
Units on scene: Car 1 Car 2 Car 3 Car 4 Engine 1 Engine 2 Ladder 1
Mutual Aid: Sutton tanker Suttone engine Northbridge Engine Webster Rescue
