Minor Basement Fire Battalion 2 Area

At approximately 0430 hours on Sunday, September 26, 2004, the volunteers from Moyers Corners were dispatched for the reported structure fire, fire in the basement on Treeline Drive off Forestbrook Drive in the Town of Clay.  Within 2 minutes of dispatch, Car 1 arrived and assumed command, while Engine 41 (Capt. Crispin), responding with an in-house, overnight crew arrived first, brought a hydrant in and pulled a line to the reported address.  Engine 21 (Lt. Driscoll) arrived and secured E-41's line.  By this time, BC-1 (BC Stevens) assumed interior and confirmed that the fire was extinguished with the need for ventilation.  TK-2 (FF Wick) took the ventilation assignment and waited for the investigators.  Additional responding units included E31, R4, LD1, R3.  The Onondaga County Fire Investigators are providing the investigation.  Units returned to service within 45 minutes.  Fortunately for the owner, a working smoke alarm alerted the resident, who entered the basement and knocked the fire with a couple buckets of water.
