Cumberland, RI – Stations 4, 5, 2, and 1 along with Rescue 2 responded to 200 Heroux Boulevard for a reported fire in a condo complex. Engine 41 arrived to find heavy smoke showing from Unit 406. The block of condos consisted of 8 units that are constructed of light weight truss framing. Firefighters lead off by stretching a 1 ¾” hand line through the side 1 front entryway. As companies advanced up to the second floor, a heavy smoke condition was encountered. Engine 41 sat on its own hydrant for water supply. Engines 22 and 54 stretched in back-up lines to the first floor and fire floor. Interior crews found a heavy fire condition in the bathroom and attic area above. Cumberland Truck 1 assisted with the overhauling on the interior as water was played on the fire. Lincoln Ladder 20 threw their stick to the rook to provide vertical ventilation.
