On Sunday February 15 at around 1700 (units from the Riverdale area, E813, E807, E830, E809, TK828, TK801, TK855, BC804) Truck 1 was dispatched as 2nd due truck to a report of a house fire in the area of Beacon Pl and 67th Av (Co13's area) units arrives on scene @ 5805 67th Av with fire showing from the rear of a 2 story SFD. Truck 1 w/ 7 personnel split crews providing ground ladders, roof operations and primary searches of the 2nd floor, while on the 2nd floor a water supply problem was encountered causing the 2nd floor to rapidly become engulfed in flames which resulted in 2 F/F exiting via the stairs and 2 F/F exiting via a 2nd story window to the roof. One F/F from Truck 1 received minor burns to his shoulders and back, he was taken to MedStar where he was treated and released, the injured F/F is doing well and will return to duty by week’s end. The F/F was wearing Globe Extreme Gear which held up well and prevented serious injuries. Truck 1 also assisted Fire Investigations and completed overhaul returning to service around 2030.
