Engine 17 confirmed that the home had fire showing from the roofline and pulled initial hose lines to fight the fire and to start setting up a water supply. Engine 33 finished the hydrant connection, brought a 1.75 line to the front door, and then moved inside to pull the ceiling to look for hot spots. Firefighters ensured that the home’s occupants had evacuated. With heavy lightning in the area, crews could not utilize the ladder off of Tower 34.
