Emergency Dial 9-1-1
This morning at approximately 10:18am, the Dover Fire Department along with ALS and BLS were dispatched for a working house fire on Huntley circle on the southside of the district. Ambulance 41(Camden) who was clearing from the hospital arrived on location to find a split level home with heavy smoke showing from the Charlie side(rear) of the structure. Engine 4 under the direction of Chief Mark Hall arrived confirming the report, laid a supply line and began an interior attack on the fire. Ladder 1 and Engine 2 arrived next and pulled addition handlines and began a search. Engine 411 was in the area enroute to a cover assignment for a funeral and made the response as well. Upon Engine 411s arrival their crew was sent to the roof to open up. While inside, crews lost water pressure due to a busted section of the supply line and were evacuated. As a result of the busted line and the progression of the fire, Command requested a second alarm assignment to the scene which brought additional units from Camden-Wyoming and Little Creek to the scene. Once a water supply was reestablished crews returned inside to extinguish the remaining fire. As a precaution, command requested a tanker company to the scene from both Camden-Wyoming and Magnolia. The fire was darkened down and the scene was placed under control at 12:01pm. Two firefighters were taken to the local hospital for minor injuries and are now home resting.
