Kendall 52 pulled through the vacant lot across the street and supplied additional hand lines and worked as a nurse tanker with K-34. Kendall 33 was placed west of the fire to protect exposures. Holley 40 was placed in the east yard and began large water opperations being supplied by K-34 to extinguish the remainder of the fire. Over haul opertations began as well as fire cause and orgin investigation. Several departments rotated men through to aid the investigators who also requested a K-9 unit from NYS Fire out of Montour Falls. The house was later fenced off by Emergency Enclosures and all personnel back in service at midnight. The investigation is still ongoing. No one was home at the time of the fire. |
