1704: Phone alarm 3 Dimmock Ave.
Initial assignment: BTN1 E003 E006 E007 E010 EMS2 RSC2 SAF2 TWR03 TWR07 M001 M002 M003
1709: E003 on scene. Working fire. One story brick residence fire out the roof.
1711: Due to extreme heat (Temp 95 degrees heat index 108 degrees) add'l units assigned:
E002 E008 E011 EMS3 L002 L006 M008 MAR07
1746: Under control
From the NNFD:
"Earlier today, Newport News Fire Department responded to the 00 block of Dimmock Ave for a residential structure fire. On arrival crews had heavy smoke and fire throughout the interior of the home.
Crews quickly deployed multiple handlines for an aggressive interior fire attack while other firefighters simultaneously conducted a primary search to ensure all occupants were out of the home. Additional crews performed vertical ventilation to improve interior conditions and support suppression efforts.
Due to today's extreme heat, a full first-alarm assignment was supplemented with four additional units to ensure firefighter safety and allow for the rotation of crews operating in the challenging conditions.
Fortunately, the resident heard their smoke alarms, discovered smoke, and safely evacuated before firefighters arrived. There were no injuries to residents or firefighters.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation."
