Fire Press Release
ISSUING OFFICER: Battalion Chief Steve Sabo
DATE OF INCIDENT: 3/3/2009
INCIDENT TYPE: Structure Fire
INCIDENT ADDRESS: 3914 W. Longfellow Ave.
CITY: Spokane
STATE: WA
ZIP: 99205
NARRATIVE: At 0511 this morning, Tuesday, March 3rd, the Spokane Fire Department was dispatched to a reported house fire at 3914 W. Longfellow Ave. Upon arrival, the first crew found a single family, one story house with light smoke coming from the eves of the roof, and light smoke on the main floor. The occupants reported that they experienced electrical problems in the kitchen last evening, and noticed a slight odor of smoke this morning. Thermal imaging cameras were used to locate the source of the smoke, which was in the kitchen ceiling and the upper portion of several walls in that area. As other crews arrived they assisted in opening up the walls and ceiling to expose and extinguish the fire. The fire had likely been burning in the attic insulation all night, and several ceiling joists had burned completely through. The occupants had an operating smoke detector, but it did not activate because the smoke was mostly confined to the attic. While there was minimal smoke or heat damage to the living area of the house, significant repairs will need to be made to the walls and ceiling in the kitchen and dining room due to the fire mitigation actions. The electrical wiring in those areas was also damaged. The four adult occupants of the house will be unable to stay there until repairs are made. The Red Cross is assisting them with temporary accommodations.
PROBABLE CAUSE: The cause of the fire was determined to be malfunctioning electrical wiring in the attic, which ignited insulation and wood framing members.
DAMAGE EXTENT: Damage to the structure and wiring is estimated to be $10,000.
DOLLAR LOSS: 10000
FIREFIGHTER RESPONSE: 21
MUTUAL AID: None Given

Fire Press Release
ISSUING OFFICER: Mike Inman / Battalion Chief
DATE OF INCIDENT: 2/21/2009
INCIDENT TYPE: Structure Fire
INCIDENT ADDRESS: 1221 N. Monroe
CITY: Spokane
STATE: WA
ZIP: 99201
NARRATIVE: At 1143 pm February 21, 2009 the Spokane Fire Department was dispatched on a report of smoke coming from the roof of a building. The first fire crews on scene were Engine 3 and the North side Battalion Chief who saw a significant amount of smoke coming from what appeared to be the roof of a 3 story apartment building. As other fire crews arrived they went to the opposite side of the building and reported seeing fire in one room on the 3rd floor. At about the same time Engine 3 made entry to the 3rd floor from the inside and reported heavy smoke and heat conditions. The North side Battalion Chief requested the incident be upgraded to a working fire. When a second Battalion Chief arrived on scene and went to the back of the building it was decided to upgrade the fire to a 2nd alarm due to the fire on the 3rd floor and the potential number of people in the building. Crews were immediately assigned to search the building for occupants, attack the fire, ventilate the smoke and heat and set up a rapid intervention team in case anyone was to get trapped inside. Engine 3 was the first fire crew into the room on fire and did an aggressive attack with a 1 ¾" attack line. This knocked the main body of the fire down then the efforts of the Firefighters were directed to making sure the fire did not extend beyond the room of origin. Red Cross was called to assist approximately 20 displaced residents because the gas was shut off to the building for safety purposes while the fire was being extinguished so there was no heat in the building. In all 42 Firefighters were called to the scene with over half of the available fire crews in the city dedicated to the fire. AMR, American Medical Response ambulance company is based across the street from the apartment building and AMR opened up there building to shelter the displaced residents and give Red Cross a place to meet with the residents. The fire is under investigation by the Spokane Fire Department.
PROBABLE CAUSE: Under investigation
DAMAGE EXTENT: Confined to one apartment on the 3rd floor with smoke throughout the 3rd floor.
DOLLAR LOSS: 5000
FIREFIGHTER RESPONSE: 42
MUTUAL AID: None Given

Fire Press Release
ISSUING OFFICER: Bob Green/Battalion Chief
DATE OF INCIDENT: 2/18/2009
INCIDENT TYPE: Structure Fire
INCIDENT ADDRESS: 2112 W Sinto
CITY: Spokane
STATE: W
ZIP: 99205
NARRATIVE: The Spokane City Fire Department responded fire fighting crews and their apparatus to 2112 W Sinto at 1:11 in the afternoon on Wednesday, Feb. 18th, for a reported structure fire. Additional information provided by Fire Dept. Dispatchers to the responding fire companies included reports from 9-1-1 callers that they could see smoke coming from the roof area of the house. The first arriving fire company radioed that there was indeed smoke showing from the roof and vents of a single story wood/frame dwelling and that they were going to attempt to make entry into the structure to investigate for the source of the smoke. Later arriving fire companies were assigned various tasks which included securing a water supply, forcible entry, ventilation (both vertical and horizontal), search and rescue, back-up fire leads, and scene safety. The fire fighting crews inside the residence were able to gain access into the attic space by pulling ceilings and found the well hidden fire smoldering in the attic insulation. Crews on the roof cut a large ventilation hole in the roof over the suspected area of attic involvement and assisted in the extinguishment. Search and recue efforts determined that there was no one in the house at the time of the fire. Once the main fire was discovered and extinguished the fire crews at the scene began the labor intensive job of digging out and removing the blown-in insulation to insure that all the smoldering material was extinguished and removed from the interior of the structure. There were no reports of any injuries to civilians or to the fire fighters. Investigators from the Spokane Fire Dept.'s Special Investigation Unit responded to the scene and began their investigation into the cause of this fire. Preliminary investigation is centering on the old wiring system which supplies electrical power to the building. Damage to the dwelling was confined to the ceilings in the kitchen, dining, and living room; the attic space over those affected rooms, and of course the rear area of the roof.
PROBABLE CAUSE: Currently under investigation with preliminary indications centering on the electrical system and the wiring in that system.
DAMAGE EXTENT: Ceilings in the living room, dining room, and kitchen; the attic spaces over those affected rooms; the back portion of the house's roof.
DOLLAR LOSS: 30,000
FIREFIGHTER RESPONSE: 24
MUTUAL AID: None Given

The box marked "other"..
Received word from a brother of a call they went on yesterday - someone having problems with their digital converter box. Yep. I think that can go under TV reception, but how about that? Stand by for more of those calls. I guess we're the Geek Squad!
It probably came in as "difficulty seeing."

Fire Press Release
ISSUING OFFICER: Mike Inman / Battalion Chief
DATE OF INCIDENT: 2/14/2009
INCIDENT TYPE: Information
INCIDENT ADDRESS: 1218 E. Rich
CITY: Spokane
STATE: WA
ZIP: 99207
NARRATIVE: The Spokane Fire Department responded to a reported house fire in the early morning hours of February 14, 2009 only to find light smoke in the residence and the owner very agitated. The damage was minor confined to the light smoke in the house. The cause is of concern and that was a discarded cigarette into the trash. Fortunately the resident of the house was awake and noticed the small fire in the kitchen area then called the Fire Department. Her smoke detector was on the kitchen table without a battery as she had not been able to get to the store to replace the battery. The Spokane Fire Department would like to remind the public of the dangers of improperly discarded smoking materials as well as not maintaining a working smoke detector in the house. The damage was minor in this incident and nobody was injured but that is not always the case with improper disposal of cigarettes and or not maintaining working smoke detectors. The Fire Department did ventilate the house and put a new battery in the smoke detector prior to leaving the scene.
PROBABLE CAUSE: Cigarette
DAMAGE EXTENT: Very minor. Just a light smoke in the house
DOLLAR LOSS:
FIREFIGHTER RESPONSE: 21

MORE EMS IN THE MOVIES! CPR!!
This time from Hang 'em High starring Clint Eastwood. This is a great movie with a lot of philosophical food for thought (along with some great fights, gunplay, etc.) If you haven's seen this movie, there is a bit of a spoiler if you watch this clip. But then again, it's been out for 41 years so if you haven't seen it yet...
Knowing how the American Heart Association keeps changing things, maybe this protocol will come back. I hope not.
If you find any other FIRE or EMS related movie scenes on the internet, send them my way.

Fire Press Release
ISSUING OFFICER: Bob Green/Battalion Chief
DATE OF INCIDENT: 2/11/2009
INCIDENT TYPE: Structure Fire
INCIDENT ADDRESS: 1737 E Sanson
CITY: Spokane
STATE: WA
ZIP: 99207
NARRATIVE: The Spokane City Fire Department dispatched fire crews and their apparatus to 1737 E. Sanson at 12:09 in the very early morning on Wednesday, Feb 11th, for a reported structure fire. The first arriving fire crew reported heavy smoke coming from the roof and eaves of a single story wood/frame dwelling and radioed their intent to enter the structure with a charged fire lead in an attempt to locate the fire and extinguish it. As the other incoming fire apparatus were approaching the scene, the Incident Commander began making assignments to them that included search and rescue, additional fire hose leads, ventilation (both horizontal and vertical), water supply, and fire scene safety. The crews inside the structure reported heavy smoke conditions which hampered their progress somewhat as they struggled against the heat and smoke. They were finally able to get to the back bedroom where the fire is believed to have originated and, once there, got a fairly quick knockdown of the fire. There were no reported injuries to the fire fighters or to the tenants. Early discovery of the fire by one of the tenants, especially because of the time of the night, contributed to their successful escape from the house at a time when conditions inside were rapidly becoming critical. The house sustained very serious smoke damage throughout as the thick, black smoke that was present inside covered nearly all of the contents in the structure. The bedroom where the fire originated was completely destroyed and a good-sized hole had been cut in the roof of the house to allow the pent-up heat and toxic by-products of combustion out of the building. Ceilings were pulled and walls were opened up inside the building to allow the fire fighters to be able to fully extinguish any stubborn hot spots that were still burning. Investigators from the Spokane Fire Dept.'s Special Investigation Unit were on the scene trying to determine the cause of this early morning fire and at the time of this report no conclusions have been reached.
PROBABLE CAUSE: Currently under investigation by the Spokane Fire Dept.'s SIU.
DAMAGE EXTENT: Severe fire damage to the bedroom of origin, heavy fire and collateral damage to other areas of the buiding, and severe smoke damage to the entire interior and contents of the structure.
DOLLAR LOSS: 50,000.00

Ninety-Six Dead Now. Thoughts with firefighters and families in Australia...
There are, according to the ISP logs, many in Australia who check out the Local 29 Blog. Please accept our thoughts and prayers for you and your families as you deal with these devastating fires. Maybe there is more we can do than that. I don't know.
Firefighters, you are doing a fantastic job against very terrible odds. Know that your brother and sister firefighters in Spokane are cheering you on. That seems like a lame thing to say without any action to back it up. Any ideas out there?
