At 0445, my department was dispatched for a first due house fire with people trapped. Units arrived with a working fire and 3 people on a porch roof. Crews assisted in getting the people down and getting a knock on the fire. I was in the shower getting ready for work so I was late for this one. For those wondering, yes the police cruiser is blocked in. One of these days they will learn not to park so close..

We were dispatched for a shed fire to assist another department. I was dropping Wyatt off at School and glanced over in that direction and saw the header. So I quickly went enroute

Shortly after I arrived, the additional on dispatch was given that a neighbor across the street saw smoke pushing from the attic vents and the windows were black. Good indication there was a fire. I had Wyatt with me on this one and he sat at the Command Post while I took some photos

Alot of smoke still pushing. I arrived just as a mayday was called when one of our guys fell partially through a floor. I think I aged about 20 years when I heard it. For those baseball fans out there, Former Major League Baseball Star Tommy Herr resides in this same development
