Heavy fire was blowing out of the ‘Charlie’ side and fire was in the attic of the two-story house when firefighters pulled up. Residents had successfully evacuated the home. A 1-3/4″ hand line was advanced through the front door and a 2-1/2″ line to the rear as Tower 43 was setup for companies to ventilate the roof.
