Engine 31 Assists North Syracuse FD - Signal 99
Feb 04, 2005 - 12:00 am
On Tuesday, January 25, Moyers Corners Station 3 was automatically activated with the North Syracuse Fire Department for a reported structure fire at 7642 Anne Terrace. North Syracuse Car 2 arrived and reported a 2 story wood frame with heavy smoke showing from the garage command then called for a signal 99. Battalion 3 Chief Tim Chura responded and joined engine 31's crew consisting of firefighters Jeff Izzo (driver), and Jimmy G (officer), bunkins Matt Buss, Cody Thieme, and mutual aid rider Zack Smith from the Pompey Hill Fire Dept. Enigne 31 arrived and picked up a hydrant, and then stretched an inch and three quarters line to the garage. After attempting to gain entry through a blocked side garage door, the garage door itself became the entry point. Engine 31's crew made a quick knock on the fire while North Syracuse stretched a 2 inch line into the house to check for extension. North Syracuse's truck crew quickly went to the roof and cut a vent in the roof over the garage. The fire was confined to the garage with heavy extension to a bedroom above the garage and very little damage to the house itself.
