Thursday, July 14, 2016

July 8th, 2015 at 17:15hrs, Dover Fire, along with ALS and BLS were dispatched to a house fire on Rose Valley School Road, west of the City. Due to the fire being in a non Hydrant area, Station 51 (HARTLY) was dispatched to assist with a tanker company. The Fire Chief arrived on location to find a two story single family dwelling with smoke showing from the Charlie side (rear) of the house. Chief Hall advised incoming units that the fire was in the basement. Engine 4 arrived first, stretching a line down into the basement and extinguished the fire. Engine 6 and 7 arrived and conducted a search and checked for extension. Both had negative results. The scene was placed under control and turned over to the state fire marshals office. Special thanks to the Little Creek Fire Company for providing a cover up at station 1.
