It didn't make it past round 2!

On Friday night the 911 operator in Woburn's comm. center received a 911 call reporting a possible fire at 91 Pleasant Street. Just like the old Emergency TV show the stations speakers sounded off with the dispatch. The crews donned up and jump on. The rigs started out, when the dispatcher came back across the radio "responding companies receiving additional calls on this!" The updates would not end there. "Units responding PD reporting smoke coming from the house!" The rigs races through the streets arriving withing minutes of the dispatch, the 1st due crew came across the radio " We're off smoke showing Charlie / Delta corning!"

The rest of of the companies filed in one by one the S.O. calling for the working fire. As the 2nd and 3rd in companies came in they dropped the tool bags at the plug and laid in. The Tower crew got in position and sticked the roof. Hand lines laid in every door making an aggressive attack.

With all companies working on scene coverage companies began filing in; but; that would change as Command would call for the 2nd alarm. Specifically requesting the next in Truck company; which was Stoneham's; to the front and to stick the roof too.

With two sticks up and lines through every doorway, that would be all for this fire, it did not make it to the 3rd bell. After about an hour on scene command placed the fire under control and companies began making up and rolling back to the stations.
