Wakefield ACW

In the wee hours of the morning Wakefield fire responded to #7 Hart Street of a fire in a commercial 2 story building.

Crews made entry to a building heavily charged with smoke but could not find a fire. Using pike pole and axes crews began opening up walls and ceiling; but; yet they would report back to command on the radio with muffled voices through their SCBA, "Command we can not find the fire!"

The chief arrived shortly after the initial report of the working fire and did an assessment of the situation then requested a 2nd alarm directing the incoming coverage units to scene.

Stoneham fire provided on scene RIT coverage.

While Melrose and Reading sent an engine and North Reading sent their ladder.

Lynnfield and Woburn provided coverage.
