Lawrence, MA ACW - 3 John St - 6/16/15
Just before noontime, Lawrence Fire Alarm sent out box 2111 for a reported house fire at 3 John St in the Prospect Hill neighborhood. Engines 5 and 6 were sent with Ladder 5, Rescue 1 and Car 21 Deputy Kennedy. Engine 7 was subsequently added to the box.
Engine 6 arrived on scene and initially reported nothing showing from a 2.5 story wood frame dwelling. After further investigation, a fire in the walls was found and E6 began stretching a line. The fire extended into the attic where firefighters had difficult access due to large amounts of clutter making it diffucult to advance lines to attack the fire. Companies stretched 2 lines and were able to knock the fire down in short order.
I arrived about 10-15 minutes after the box was sent and there wasn't much action to see. But this was a good time to get photos of the firefighters mopping up and picking up lines.
