Monday, May 7, 2012 On Monday at 0223 hours, the 531 box was struck for the reported building fire at The Graw Apartments, 100 Revolution Street. Chief 5, Deputy Chief 5, Chief 5-1, Chief 5-2, Engine 512, Engine 513, Engine 514, Engine 515, Quint 5, Tower 5 & Tower 2 marked up shortly after alert. Deputy Chief 5 was first on scene at 0227 hours with nothing showing from the 7-story residential 'high-rise'. Engine 512 was next on scene, took the FDC on the delta side & stretched their 200' pre-connect for the reported fire in the boiler room. Engine 512's crew found smoke inside & a sprinkler activation within the boiler room. After a quick investigation, it was found that an electric panel had caught fire & was extinguished by the sprinkler. While 512's crew was checking for extension & getting the sprinkler system shut down, remaining crews assisted with multiple evacuations. Crews continued to get all 74 units evacuated & vented, as CO levels were in the area of 200PPM in the upper divisions. Two occupants were evaluated by EMS, however refused treatment. Hose Company crews remained on scene until CO levels returned to a safe range & then cleared. Chief 5 (Hurst) held the "Revolution Street" command.

Saturday, April 21, 2012 On Saturday at 1530 hours, Engine 512 & Quint 5 moved up to Company 3 to cover during their banquet. Crews had a slow evening before the 333 Fire Box was struck for reported smoke in the basement at 1801 Fieldwest Court. Engine 512 (Lamana) was first on scene with a two story single family with smoke inside. The crew stretched number 6 (200') and investigated along with the Quint's crew. The investigation found a malfunctioning sump pump, at which time command scaled back to 1 & 1. Crews picked up and then returned to service. Captain 5-5 (Hurst) held the "Fieldwest Court" command. This would be the only run for the Hose Company crews, however we greatly appreciate the invite from Company 3 and thanks again for dinner.
