2nd Job in less than 48 Hours for Crews

For the second time in less than 48 hours, crews found themselves with a working fire around 08:00am.  This time it was off of Castle Rock road.

As crews were preparing for some ground ladder training, tones dropped for a reported house on fire across from the fairgrounds off Castle Rock Road.    E825 arrived on scene within minutes and reported a working fire in a single wide mobile home.  The crew from E825 had to pull down a fence as the house was actually on Toro Lane. 

As additional units arrived on scene, crews helped stretch lines and establish RIT.  Captain Cooper led a team through the front door to do a rapid search of the uninvolved portion of the home as other crews stretched a second line.  All search of the home found no occupants.

Crews spent about 2 hours on scene with overhaul and investigation.

Units on scene:  E825, E821, E822, E823, Sqd851, 801, 802, 803, 804, 805, 806, BCEMS2, BCSO
