On Monday, February 20th, 2006 at 1145
hours, M-LFD Companies 3 and 4 were toned out to a reported
structure fire in an apartment building located on Welwyn
Road in Great Neck Plaza.
The first units to respond were Engines 8746 and 8735.
Upon their arrival, first-due units found a mattress and
other contents of a bedroom in an apartment burning in
a railroad style apartment. A Signal 10 was transmitted
immediately, for a working apartment fire, which brought
in M-LFD Company #5 for a F.A.S.T. Team and the Ambulance
Unit. A Command Post was set up an ran by Chief of Department
Strickland (8704).
Engine 8735 picked up a hydrant and stretched one 1"
3/4 hand line into the apartment. The fire was extinguished
by the crews of Engines 8735 and 8746, and all burned
contents were removed. The crew of Ladder 8743 threw up
ground ladders, provided ventilation, and checked for
extension in the surrounding areas. All M-LFD units were placed on a Signal 13 by 1315 hours.
