Battalion Chief 2460 arrived and reported heavy smoke and flames from a 2-story single-family residential. Ladder 2416 arrived and after a 360, reported heavy fire on the Charlie and Delta side, and command requested a 2nd alarm. Crews went defensive with heavy fire conditions. Crews worked until after 06:00 with hot spots and overhaul, with no other homes damaged. Smoke detectors woke up the family who made it out safely.
