Signal 99 - Electronics Parkway
On 2/5/03 at 04:19, Liverpool FD was
dispatched for a possible structure fire on Electronics Pkwy. Chief Loucks
arrived first and established command. He reported heavy fire showing and
immediately called a signal 99. D/C Muldoon was assigned operations and
D/C MacCollum the safety officer. Engine 2(Lt. Schadt) was next onscene
and established a water supply. FF Ormsby and FF Smith (from
E-2) attempted an aggressive interior attack by stretching a line through
the front door. However, the fire pushed them back out of the
building. With all residents of the house accounted for, command called
for outside operations.
Engine 1(Capt. McGillis) established a secondary water supply
and stretched an exposure line for another house close to the burning
structure. A second exterior line was also stretched to contain the
flames. Engine 3(Lt. Rouselle) and Truck 2(Capt. Fitchpatrick) also
assisted in outside operations until the fire was under control. At this
point two lines were advanced into the structure to knock down the remainder of
the blaze. The fire was contained within an hour and extensive overhaul
was started. Squads 2 and 3 as well as Rescue 3 were also on scene to assist.
Mutual Aid companies also assisting were Moyers Corners E-32, Mattydale, and
North Syracuse for the RIT team.
