6-7-09 PARK RIDGE STRUCTURE FIRE (106 COLONY) 2239 HOURS
(single family 2 1/2 story wood frame dwelling)
At 2237 hours the resident of 102 Colony heard smoke alarms sounding nearby, looked out the window and observed a large amount of flame inside the kitchen window of 106 Colony, the adjacent property to the west. They placed a 911 call and immediately heard the fire sirens sounding. Chief arrived at 2241 hours, established Incident Command near the front of the structure and requested:
A second round for the PRFD confirming a working fire,
Hillsdale FD for a Fast Team,
Montvale FD for an engine ,
ALS and BLS for medical backup/rehab,
PSE+G to turn off gas,
PR Electric to turn off electric,
The Construction Official to examine the structure and restrict occupancy
M and M Contractors to secure the openings (board-up)
The fire was declared under control and overhaul begun at 2307 hours.
All units were clear of the scene at 0046 hours and PR6 (rescue) was sent to River Vale firehouse for air bottle refills
At 0200 hours firehouse cleanup was complete all equipment was back in service and all members dismissed.
A primary and secondary search revealed no occupants. Neighbors later reported that they believed the occupant had left several hours earlier. This was confirmed when the resident arrived reporting a missing pet weasel. A subsequent search found the animal apparently unharmed under the sofa cushion.
A preliminary investigation indicates the fire started in the kitchen dishwasher and spread to the adjacent cabinets, countertop and wall. While the kitchen was a complete loss, damage to the remainder of the house was limited to smoke, water and consequential venting damage. It was a great stop by the initial hose team.
One firefighter was transported to the hospital for treatment of a small hand cut occurring during forcible entry and returned to the scene shortly thereafter.
