07/11/2010 - Just before 1800 hrs, Kuhl Hose was dispatched for RIT to Edinboro Rd assisting Kearsarge Fire. West Ridge Chief 460 arrived on location, reported a working fire and assumed command in front of the 40'x30' residence. Engine 442 arrived and with Engine 472 stretched a 2-1/2" line to begin knocking down the fire from the exterior.

Once the bulk of the fire was knocked down, crews went interior with the 2-1/2" and two 1-3/4" lines to gain access to the renaming fire. while Truck 449 performed ventilation.

Kuhl Hose and Perry Hiway worked to fill the RIT assignment with 12 members.  Some RIT members were used for overhaul once the fire was under control. The fire is under investigation.

Special Thanks to West Ridge REHAB....
