A working fire dispatch was sounded and with the help of the canteen unit due to the hot weather. The fire was confined to a portion of the attic and placed under control.

Arriving units found heavy smoke throughout the 3 story Garden Apt. Building. After an extensive search the fire was found in the basement stairway. Members of T-3 made a couple of rescues as citizens were forced to their balconies to escape the smoke and heat.

E16,2,9,3,1 T3, T9 B6 R1. Units arrived to find smoke on the 4th floor making it difficult to determine which apartment the fire was in. Engine 16 and Truck 3 aggressively persued the source of the fire and located it before it was able to break loose and turn into a conflagration. It was an aggressive interior attack by a dedicated crew known as Number 3 Platoon.

Units from the 1st and 6th Battalions were dispatched to the unit block of Rhode Island Ave., NW for the house fire with reported people trapped. Initial arriving units found fire showing from two row-houses on side C.

Companies made an aggressive attack but were faced with a large volume of fire and the possibility of exposure issues, thus forcing command (Battalion 1) to request the 2nd alarm bringing Truck Co. 3 as the First Due Truck, Engine 16 as the Second Due Engine and BFC 6 on the Second Alarm. Just as Truck 3 was approaching the scene they were given orders to report to Exposure D and check for extension. Truck 3 opened up on the second and third floors of the exposure and found some fire in a second floor bedroom and bathroom.

One of Truck 3’s members obtained a line from Engine 12 and extinguished the hidden fire that was exposed. Command only held the Trucks on the Second Alarm sending Engine 16 and BFC 6 back to Quarters. This Fire capped off a very busy 4th of July night for the members of the Midnight Express. Truck returned to Quarters a little after 0700 Hrs.
