Quick Knock on Commercial Fire

On Wednesday, June 23, 2004 at 17:39 hours, the structural box was struck in the Battalion 2 first due, for the reported structure fire at 4471 Steelway Blvd. South, a local cardboard processing, manufacturing, and storage facility.  Moyers Corners Battalion 2 (BC Fritz) arrived within  minutes to find a possible fire inside the structure and passing command to Car 1 (Chief Bressette).  Within 10 minutes, over 25 members from the Moyers Corners and Liverpool Fire Departments had arrived and began extinguishment of what turned out to be a fire in the dust/particle exhaust system.  3922 (J. Wisnowski) arrived on Side 4 on the plug, stretched a 2.5" rear pre-connect and extended lay pack to the fire.  LVP E-1 assumed side 1 and secondary water supply and assisted with interior operations.  39 Truck 2 (Lt. Brown) arrived on side 3, secured the power to the machine(s) and assisted with use of the TIC (Thermal Imaging Camera).  Additional Moyers Corners units working included R3 (Lt. Liberatore), E31 (Lt. Dembowski), Ladder 1, and E41.  The fire was extinguished and units returned in service at 18:45.  Which brought an additional run for 3922 on the way home.

Following the incident and after a short delay, the Moyers Corners Fire Department Softball Team defeated the North Syracuse Fire Department Softball Team in 6 innings, 18-3.  Which kept the Corners undefeated at 8-0 for the season and atop of the division.  Thank you to all members, spouses, and friends that attended.
