1st
due fire alarm, upgraded to commercial structure fire
1/17/09 -
At 23:30 hrs. BCFD was called to a fire alarm at Burkot Dorm at
Campbell. This was
not anything unusual as we typically respond to fire alarms on campus
3-5 times a week. Upon
E-821 arrival they were advised that there was actually a fire on the
2nd floor in a dorm room. The
IC
805 (Riewesthal) upgraded the response to a commercial structure fire.
Crews made there way
upstairs & found that the fire was out. Crews ventilated the fire
area & notified the Fire Marshall for
investigation. Units remained on scene until 02:30 hrs. the next
morning to assist the FM. This makes
the 2nd fire in a student dormitory in the past 3 years. Hopefully
this may open some eyes & show
that not all fire alarms are false. The cause of this fire is
still under investigation by the FM office.

Black River fire department requested an engine from us around 1:30
hours. E-842 responded & arrived to
find the Angier fire dept. involved in a defensive attack at a 4 bay car
repair shop. Crews from E-842 assisted in opening
up the roll-up doors & deploying 2 1/2" handlines into operation.
To worsen the situation they faced 9 degree temps.
which caused a very icy fire scene. The fire was reported on
initial dispatch as already through the roof. The 1st due engine
reported that fire was showing upon arrival. Crews from Angier
tried to initiate an interior attack, but were driven back by the
intense flames. The building was deemed unsafe & crews were placed
into a defensive position. The fire took engines
from 4 different departments & about 55 firefighters to control.
Harnett County Fire Marshall's 1,2,3 & 5 were onscene until
around 16:00 hours that afternoon.
