Working fire in Park Ridge, 12-13-14

This from Steve Redick:

Took in this job early Saturday evening. Pretty good smoke condition as I was coming down the street, but it was over by the time I got in position. I believe this was an attic fire, and was knocked down with a big line from the outside. Two additional crosslays were used as well. Interesting to see the truck (a quint) operating as an engine, supplying all the lines. I am guessing they must have been first in, or maybe they were down an engine for some reason. I have always liked shots of this type of operation. Not really much to see from where I was but it sounds like this was a pretty good stop.

  When the truck can pump on arrival plus autoaid, makes sense to run how PR does

  Fire came in at 4pm on the dot on Friday 12/12/14. Tower #36 was first in. Park Ridge minimum staffing is 1 Truck, 1 Engine, 2 Ambos, and the BC; on automatic aid we have an additional Truck and Engine so on the Code 3 we got 2 Trucks, 2 Engines, 2 Ambos and the BC. Response was upgraded prior to arrival to Code 4/working fire, bringing a lot more help.

  Thanks for reading & thanks to Steve R. for posting the pics!
