Garage fire

Due
lightfore 1
BLS 1

**

I get the eiry feeling of reminder as I st back and watch the alarm info come in.

((actual call happened to my uncle))

On Radio:
"BLS-1 in the area, we will stage at the corner. Fire units, be advised it's a 1 to 1.5 story garage, detached from the main structure, smoke showing from the front."

"Alright Putter. On the fire standby, we get equipment together on the stretcher, then have the stretcher out of the ambulance so we're ready to move if necessary."

*Putter and I get the jump bag, backboard, oxygen, and burn kit on the stretcher, then we pull out out and lock it behind the ambulance*



((@Burke, was this a recent fire or did it just happen earlier in the past?))

Copy bls one,

((it happened two years ago, burnt totally to the ground. Started as nearly two stories ended only two feet. No hydrants up there. Only wells it's an old old old part of town.

((That sucks))
"Raven on scene" I say then grab the base ball bat out of my car and start venting before any of the trucks show up.

(lol @ raven) pc 6 on scene for traffic.

((I have a baseball bat in my car for just that purpose, also used to carry one on my BLS ambo.))

I run over to the house and grab a garden hose with a nozzle and start to spray the flames that are starting to lick out.

"Pumper 11 on scene."
*I engage the pump, get out and close the door. I get the supply line, spanner, and hydrant wrenches and use them to hook up the supply line to the hydrant. I get my SCBA on and take off two crosslays. I take one and open the nozzle on the fire.*

Units please be advised, there are several types of materials in there that may not be extinugished by water, and plenty of accelerants, such as oil gas and paint/paint thinner.

I go over to the pump and grab a spare SCBA and put it on. "Start a class b foam mix Hannahan."

"Alright Raven. The doors closed. We need to wait for L1."
*I look in the window and see fire everywhere. *
"Raven, there is a gas can in the back of the garage."
*I make sure our crosslays are up and the connection is up to the hydrant. Lt., what should we do?*

"L1 is onscene of the structure fire."

**I jump off the Truck, put on my SCBA**

"Lieutenant or DC, Are there vehicles in the garage?"

((Sounds like we weren't supposed to have hydrants..?))

"McEvoy, 2 story structure fire, fire's contained to the garage with large amounts of accelerants. We've got a class B foam going right now. I'm going to put up a recommendation for everyone's safety, do not enter, do not vent from the roof, try and get a side wall or something out and just drown it. It's up to you on what you want to do, this is just the info that I have."

"Hannahan, where are you in relation to this fire? The garage door's closed and the truck guys are going to need to vent."

"I'm not sure on vehicles at the moment. Just flammable materials. We'll find that info on the cars out soon though."

'Ok Garcia, thanks for the info"

**I pick up the crosslay and get ready to spray the fire when it's vented**

"Ready when you ladder guys are"

RP states there's a bike in the garage and a car he just managed to get out

((No you guys get hydrants, not really much use since you'll be needing foam, but it was just the real life one that didn';t have any hydrants.))

"Yes sir. I'm coming back from the side of the garage. There is a lot of fire and I could see a small gas can in the back of the garage."
*I run back to where L1 is venting and what for them to make a hole.*

"The garage door has a small crack in it. A bit of smoke is coming out of that. I'm just letting you guys know to be careful about that."

Oh. Okay. Yeah, I'd watch it guys.... We should have a tanker if were not in a big city. Any way,don't you mix water with foam?

No galligano, we don't need a tanker, since there is a hydrant just 25 ft down the street. Trulit still has water mains..

Units, be advised, back draft risk is minimal on the main floor however the attic area may pose risk if not vented. The back door was supposed to be left open

"Roger that" I say and start to make a hole in the side of the garage facing away from the house with a rescue blade.

"Lt. when I went behind to see if there was an entryway to the garage, I seen the back door and the door was cracked but not fully open. Also the is no entry way unless we go inside."
*I stand behind Ewan so after makes a hole? I could spray.*

R=I open the hole up and point to it "Foam it up Hannahan."

"K!!"
*I spray the foam in the back and kneel down so I could spray more efficiently.*
"Looks to me like the can is safe now."

*I jump in to the ladder, flip on the lights, and blast out the bay.*

"L1 responding Code 3."

*I hit the Q and blast the air horns as a moron doesn't pull over.*

*get a halligen out of the truck and walk around the garage knocking out the two windows on the side and the one in the back, the rest Raven already got. I take an ax out to chop away at the garage walls*

I grab one of the attack lines and start moving into the garage.

M. Galligano wrote:The ladders already there

((No it's not. Raven took his POV.))

*I get out of the ladder.*

"Hey Raven, should I begin ventilation?"

*As Anders vents the windows, I use them to get an advantage over the fire (get closer).*
I hear Davis ask Raven about venting. "Just remember not to vent the garage roof." I t*ell him.
* I brace myself a bit as I pull the nozzle back a bit more so more foam can come out.

Fire teams, what's the structural stability? Raven, this'd be your area more. Gear up and go check it out. I want to know how stable it is, and if it's not stable, I'll send for one of TEC's fireproof escavators to knock it down to the ground if it risks collapsing within the next hour (it's all wood)
**
I roll to the tec alarm and alert a crew that we may have a possible knock down and to go on standby

"Lieutenant, I hear a bit of a creaking noise in here. Do you guys here it?"
*I back up a little but not too much so I could still spray through the window.*

I gear up and go in, first I check the joists, they're okay, and then I check the floor to celing beams, not as okay, then I rip open the walls. They're almost gone. "This structure is lost and structuraly unsafe" I say as I make my way out. "Let's start up the ladder and protect the house."

*I back up more. but still don't stop the foam.*
"I'll work on this place Lt. until you need me."

This doesn't sound good, I hear a collapse coming, get outta there raven!!!!

(For the love of god relax, you never here fire fighters panic in real life unless something happens, and they usally stay pretty calm and collected.)

(he seems to like drama.. He blew himself up first call)

Raven, can I get a struc-stabil update?

"Yeah let me go in and check again."

I go in again and check the joists and supports.
"The joists look okay, but there's major damage to the supports. This needs to be taken out right away." I say. "pumper 11 use your deck gun with a dove's tail to protect the house."

I climb up to the gun controls and move it towards the garage and wait for people to clear. What's a Doves tail?

"From the outside, large cracks in the sheet rock, slight tilt to the structure."

"A V shaped motion using the deck gun, just spray the roof down with water."

Okay. I turn the knob and the water gushes onto the roof

"What do you want me to do Lieutenant?"

"Get foam on the fire from the outside."

"Ok"

**I start to spray the exterior with foam**

I back up more to make sure it won't fall on me as I hear it creaking. I back up till I feel it's safe and kneel down again. I look around to make sure everyone else is safe then spray and wait for it to fall.

**I move back with Hannahan to where we think is safe**

"This is got to go down soon Hannahan"

"Yea when it does it makes my job a bit easier.I feel bad for the guy though."
*The building makes a very loud creaking noise.*

"Crap, that was loud!"

**I keep spraying**

"I know. Be careful for debris when it comes down."
*It creaks again.*
"Alright, it's about to come down. Should we move forward when it comes down Lt?

Men sstand back 50ft from the garage. There should be a partial structural collapsesoon, however TEC is on it' sway to completely knock it down, then it'll just be hot spots and flare ups

The guns ready andll take em out quickly

"The fire is going down inside the garage."
