Minnesota Ave Building
June 3, 2010 - At 0532 hours, a citizen knocked on the firehouse door to alert Deanwood Members that a house was on fire down the street. E27 called for the Box as we opened the Engine door and could see smoke. E27 pulled on side Bravo of a two and half story building, formerly Miss Charlotte's Crabcakes and could see fire coming from a first floor window. While attempting to make entry, it was found that several layers of plywood were on the windows and doors. T17 arrived and assisted with making entry and E27 pushed through the first floor, knocking down all fire. As E30 went to check the second floor, it was noticed that the stairs were burned out. At this time, heavy fire started to vent out of the windows of the second floor and the roof. With no way to get to the second floor, firefighters were backed out and a defensive attack was made on the second floor and roof. After the bulk of the fire was knocked down, firefighters made entry and hit the remaining hot spots. E27 and T17 operated for three hours assisting investigators.
