Northside Structure Fire

Birmingham Fire & Rescue

Monday, I happened to be at Station 1 when the station tones started sounding. As dispatch starts to call out the list of companies, I heard a voice over the station PA system, "Everybody". Everybody! That meant Engine 1, Truck 1, Rescue 1 and Battalion 2, who happened to be there.

The call was for a reported structure fire near Carraway.

I left out the back and stopped in the alley. Here they came. A line of apparatus heading up 19th Street.

Engine 9 jumped on the fire quickly and, with Engine 13, handled the fire.

Great work!

Companies on the scene included:

• Engine 9
• Engine 13
• Engine 1
• Truck 1
• Rescue 1
• Battalion 2
• BPD 123
