Alpha of a two story single family with fire showing
from the basement. E27 arrived on side Charlie and
started knocking down the basement. T17 found severe
damage to the structure and after finding a burned
civilian outside of the house, E27 was pulled out
and a defensive attack was initiated knocking down
the remainder of the fire. One patient was
transported to Medstar with burns to his face, back
and arms. E27 supplied T7's ladder pipe and operated
for over 3 hours with investigators. Pictures
