EARLY AFTERNOON GARAGE FIRE

February 22, 2009 - 15:58 Fire & EMS units were dispatched to a reported structure fire at the 5500 block of Harris Street, in Dublin. Chief 1 was first on scene and reported heavy smoke showing from a detached garage located behind the residence. Chief 1 assumed Harris Street Command and ordered Tanker 1's crew to pull a line to the front of the structure. Engine 1's crew established a water supply and Support 1's Crew established a second hand-line and RIT outside the structure. The first in interior crew reported heavy smoke, very little heat, and no visible fire towards the A side of the structure. As the crew advanced deeper into the building towards the C side, it was determined that the fire was burning above them in the attic area. This was confirmed through the use of a thermal imaging unit. The interior crew then began pulling the ceiling and noted a good portion of the attic was involved with fire. They immediately began extinguishing the fire and sent a two person crew into the attic space to continue suppression activities. It was found that there was a large amount of upholstery in the attic space which was adding additional heat and fire. The incident was brought under control shortly there after. Once the attic was extinguished, additional crews from Tanker 1 and Engine 1 began overhaul activities.  REMSI Medic 10 was on scene to provide medical care, fortunately there were no injuries at this incident. All units cleared the scene approximately 1 hour after the incident was dispatched.
