On May 7, 2022, the CFD responded to a residential structure fire in the 2400 block of Wilhoit Street. Engine 4 arrived on the scene at 11 PM and found a single-story residence with more than 60% involvement. Flames were visibly exiting the structure out of the front and side window as well as through the roof. A single occupant had safely exited the structure prior to the CFD’s arrival. Engine 4 established a water supply and initiated a transitional attacked starting defensively outside of the structure until additional personnel arrived to provide manpower for an attack team and RIT. Once in place, an interior offensive search and attack were made which led to a quick knockdown of the fire. Overhaul was done to ensure there were no more hot spots. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Engine 4, Ladder 5, Quint 10, Quint 6, Squad 1, Squad 7, Battalion 2, Battalion 3 (Red Shift) and CFD Investigations were on the call.
