LINCOLN, RI - Firefighters from Stations 3,4,5, and Rescue 4 responded to 6 Lakeview Ave for a reported dwelling fire with people trapped around 0900hrs on August 25, 2008. First due companies called off with smoke and fire showing from a raised ranch style dwelling. Several lines were stretched in to knock the fire down. Ladder 51 made the roof and vented to help the brothers inside find the seat of the fire. Engine 4 found a victim on the upper level and removed him to the outside where he was pronounced deceased. The other occupant, the spouse of the victim, made it outside safely. The scene was turned over to the Lincoln Police and the Rhode Island State Fire Marshal for cause and origin. The last 23 pictures were taken by my son Andrew with his point and shoot.
