Command called for a 2 Alarm for additional manpower due to the remote location of the fire. The initial attack crew put a
real good knock on the fire in the basement area. However the fire had extended to the first floor. The crew split up due to
the lack of manpower in the remote area and began to attack the fire on the first floor with the leader line. Additional
members from Engine 221 arrived at the scene and began backing up the initial attack crew. Crews also threw ground
ladders to the building. Truck 24's crew arrived on the scene and also assisted with fire attack on the first floor. Chief 22
Dayton arrived on the scene and assumed the command. A/C Derham took over the operations. Due to the lack of
access to the scene, crews from additional units had to walk close to 1/4 mile just to reach the fire scene. Once enough
firefighters were on the scene, a crew was able to make access to the roof to cut a ventilation hole. Attack crews also had
to deal with the fire setting off ammunition in the master bedroom during the fire attack on the first floor. Crews were able
to make an aggressive attack on the fire with a long extensive overhaul operation.
