Electrical Fire on Finney Farm Road
By CFD Reporter 912
December 29, 2012
At 21:39 hours, 60 Control dispatched a Full Assignment to a Finney Farm Road residence for the reported electrical fire. Within minutes, all six CFD apparatus were responding along with two Chiefs.
On the arrival of first-in E119 a mere five minutes later, they reported nothing evident from the exterior and they would be investigating with their crew of six. Being that Finney Farm Road lacks hydrants, Command had T10 stage halfway up the block, with the balance of companies standing by on Old Post Road North near the nearest hydrants.
The E119 crew reported a small electrical fire within a kitchen wall and that they were turning off the breaker and starting to open up to check for extension. Once it was confirmed that there was no significant fire spread, Command (Car 2081) released all units except E119 who were remaining on scene to open up for a while.
Car 2081 placed the situation under control at 22:38, and units were clear of the scene at 22:52. The circuits involved were turned off and the owner was notifying an electrician.
