Quick knock on Dupont Fire
12.18.2016 - Shortly before 5 am, Rescue and Chief 112 were dispatched to assist station 125 (Dupont) and the rest of the 1st alarm companies on a reported structure fire on Liberty St. Initial reports from the caller was that a space heater was on fire, but the fire was out. The fire restarted shortly after with police first arriving reporting a working structure fire with heavy fire in the front of the home. The crew from R-112 stretched a hand line to the D side stairwell and into the fire after forcing the door. Half the crew handled the hose line while the remaining members did a primary search for victims. Later in the fire, 3 members from the R-112 crew assisted with overhaul.
Units were on scene nearly 2 1/2 hours. Our thoughts are with the family who lost much of their possessions in this morning's fire, including several pets.
