Section Four - Narrative
Narrative of Incident: Responded to a departmental in Transfender Garage, Blueberry due to a gas tank leak (flame was facing the building so the structure fire started probably for that reason). We started suppressing the gas tank in order to keep a safe temperature in order to avoid explosion. Engine 1 setted up an hard suction line in the river, connecting a supply line to the quint. Aerial ladder moved towards the structure so horizontal ventilation has been started. Vertical started as well while I went inside for a primary search. Spotted more than twenty oil-gas tanks, secured outside of the building. After the structure fire has extinguished successfully and gas tank secured, we made a second and final search.
No victims or signs of arson found.
