Engine 9 arrived to a small single-story single-family residential with smoke showing from the attic space, pulled a 1 3/4 to the Alpha side for fire attack and search in the offensive strategy. Engine 11 secured the water supply to Engine 9, and Medic 12 assisted Engine 9 with fire attack. District 3 arrived and assumed Braun command, and assigned Rescue 10 as RIT and Medic 10 as medical group. Crews found fire in the attic and Truck 14 started ventilation. Crews got the fire under control and started overhaul. Investigators found that sparks from a welding torch caused this fire during remodeling work, and the fire started in the wall of a second floor bathroom and spread into the floor joists.
