Around 1700 hours, Truck 1 was dispatched as 2nd due truck to a report of a house fire in the area of Beacon Pl and 67th Av (Co13's area). Units arrived on scene @ 5805 67th Ave with fire showing from the rear. Truck 1 split crews providing ground ladders, roof operations and primary searches of the 2nd floor.

While on the 2nd floor a water supply problem was encountered causing the 2nd floor to become engulfed in flames which resulted in 2 F/F exiting via the stairs and 2 F/F exiting via a 2nd story window to the roof. One of our F/F received minor burns to his shoulders and back, he was taken to MedStar where he was treated and released.

Truck 1 also assisted Fire Investigations and completed overhaul returning to service around 2030 hours. Chief 7 was the incident commander and Chief 1A was assigned the Safety Sector.
