Sipesville Volunteer Fire Company

At 12:38 hrs on the afternoon of December 6, Stations 608, 605, 606, and 607 were dispatched for a structure fire at 132 3rd Street in Acosta. Engine 608-1 was out of service due to mechanical service, therefore Engine 607-4 was the first engine to arrive on scene. The engine crew hit a plug on main street and laid approximately 400' of 5" supply line into the scene and then fed tanker 608-2. Upon arrival at the scene crews found heavy smoke and flames coming from division two, corner A/D of the house. The crew from Engine 607-4 made the first interior attack, followed by crews from 608 and 605. Tanker 607-2 arrived on scene and was advised to stage on Baroni Ave. behind Engine 606-1. Engine 605-1 had laid 5' from Baroni Ave. into the scene from the east end of 3rd Street. The crew from 607-2 connected the 5' supply line into the tanker and prepared to feed Boswell's engine if needed. 608 Chief had incident command and requested that one engine from Station 601 be dispatched for standby at the scene. Crews made a quick knock on the fire and then checked the attic for any additional hotspots above the fire room. Salvage and overhaul was completed and most units were back in service within two hours. A special thanks goes out to 608 Deputy Chief for sharing these photos!
