Dwelling Fire in Northeast; Closest Engine Closed  
Posted On: Feb 02, 2012  


At 2:12pm on January 31, Box Alarm 4-16 was struck for a dwelling fire
in the 1500 block of Sheffield Avenue, Northeast Baltimore.  But one
Engine Company was missing on this call and unfortunately for the
citizens and Truck 29 it was the closest Engine! Engine 4 was one of
the units closed to save money this day.  Truck 29 which is in the same
station as Engine 4 and who's job it is to conduct search and rescue
operations and with no water to protect them, arrived to find a two
story, occupied, middle of the row dwelling, with heavy smoke
showing.  Additional units were requested by the Incident Commander
when he transmitted a Working Fire.  During operations, three
Firefighters were transported to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Burn
Center where they were treated and released with minor burns.  One
civilian was also evaluated by Paramedics, but they refused transport.  
The Fire Investigation Bureau is investigating the cause of the fire.  
One family was displaced.
