Providence- 3rd Alarm, Westminster St.-5/3/08 : Shortly after 4pm, on the afternoon of May 3, 2008, Providence firefighters transmitted a second alarm on arrival of a well involved vacant home on Westminster Street, in the Olneyville section of the city.  Heavy fire and smoke was issuing from the front and side of the building.  Defensive operations were immediately established in order to protect nearby exposures.  A third alarm was transmitted shortly afterwards as firefighters stretched numerous handlines and placed several tower ladders and ladder pipes into service.

Boston- Hanover Street-4/18/08 : While on a day trip with family and friends, we were walking from Fanueil Hall to Mike's Pastry in the North End.  As we turned on hanover Street, I saw Engine 8 and Ladder 1 in front of a restaurant.  It looked like Ladder 1's jacks were starting to extend and then I noticed the members of Engine 8 running out to the rig to get a line.  Not having a radio with me or expecting to go to any fires, I didn't have my camera with me, it was in the car.  Thankfully our friends had a camera with them that I quickly borrowed and took off.  I could smell smoke but never saw any.  They had at least two lines stretched and three aerials to the roof.  It was funny to see that some people just went about their business, walking down the sidewalk as the firefighters are trying to stretch lines into the building.  The restaurant that the fire was in was evacuated but the surrounding ones weren't affected and people just kept eating.  Thanks to the Marcellos' for the use of their camera.

Cranston- Air Supply/Rehab : The Cranston Fire Department recently received an Air Supply/ Rehab vehicle.  Until now, the department was not capable of filling bottles on the scene of an emergency.  This rig provides capability of filling approximately 120 cylinders from a cascade system of 6 tanks.  It also provides an area for approximately 10 firefighters to rest and rehydrate, out of the elements, in either a heated or air condition crew cab.  The horizontal compartment on the officers side provides an area to warm turnout gear during winter operations.  Members of the Cranston Fire Department Local 1363 worked with Hackney in developing this apparatus.  To our knowledge, this is the only apparatus of its kind that combines the air supply and rehab area in one vehicle.

Flint, MI- W/F Unknown Street- 10/14/07 : While on our trip to Detroit, we were told about Flint, Michigan and decided to head up Saturday afternoon.  It is much smaller than Detroit but very similar.  The city is filled with vacant dwellings, as many of its residents have left because of cutbacks in the auto industry.  Similar to Detroit, Flint has an arson problem.  They have fires nearly every day, and Devils Night still keeps Flint firefighters very busy.

We were talking with the firefighters at Headquarters when units were sent out for a structure fire.  Squad 2 reported smoke showing and the first engine stretched in.  They had a small fire in the rear of a vacant dwelling.  The fire was quickly knocked down.

I would just like to thank the Flint firefighters at both the Headquarters station and Station 3 for their hospitality.  It was great getting to meet them and I hope they all stay safe.

Boston- Sheraton Boston-10/5/07 : On the evening of October 5, 2007, just as Dice K was taking the mound for game two of the playoffs, Boston dispatched Engine 22 and Tower Ladder 17 to the Sheraton Boston for the Central Station Alarm.  As Ladder 17 was investigating, they found a smoke condition on floor 3 and asked Fire Alarm to Strike the Box.  Box 1568 was struck as crews searched for the source of the fire.  Companies traced the fire down to the kitchen on the second floor of the hotel.  All companies went to work pulling ceilings and checking for fire.  Evac Chief 5 ordered companies to clear the fire floor and the area above the kitchen on the third floor.  The fire was brought under control within 30 minutes.

I got into this box pretty quickly and found a decent parking spot.  As I was walking up to the scene, an extremely large explosion rocked the area, about 1 block from the Sheraton.  To me it sounded like one of those large metal plates that utility companies use fell the 10th floor of a building.  People began running from the area and police officers that were at the Sheraton began running down towards the source of the explosion.  A box was struck for the explosion and crews found an electrical vault was the cause.  Management inside the Hilton Hotel, adjacent to the electrical vault, reported that the entire building shook and the lights went out for a second and then came back on.
