Somerville, MA 3rd Alarm
11 Teele Ave.
Saturday May 5th, 2018
Fire in a large 2.5 story occupied dwelling. Fire was reported by occupants as an "extinguished fire" on the rear deck. SFD sent a, engine, ladder and rescue to investigate. On their arrival, the full box assignment was requested with heavy smoke and fire having extended from floor 2 into the 3rd floor half story. At one point, due to heavy fire conditions, firefighters were ordered out of the 3rd floor. Multiple lines were run thru the front door and up a ground ladder on the "A" side into the 3rd floor. The fire was knocked down within 30-45 minutes.
Mutual aid from Boston, Cambridge, Arlington, Medford and Belmont assisted Somerville Fire companies on the scene.
* Because I arrived later into the fire, most of the photos here are faces with a few of the guys from Ladder 3 working at opening up the 3rd floor.
