Fires can progress quickly. Sometimes they can go from a single alarm fire into a two-alarm fire in a matter of minutes, which happened for one Connecticut family's duplex.
Quick Moving Fire
New Haven, Connecticut firefighters, responded to the call of a fire on Monroe street. According to New Haven Assistant Fire Chief Justin McCarthy, firefighters were initially told the fire was at 64 Monroe instead of the correct location of 55 Monroe Street.
When they arrived at the scene five minutes after, they were sent to the home. While the fire began on the first floor of the duplex, it quickly extended to the building's second floor.
Due to the intensity of the blaze, it turned into a 2- alarm fire. McCarthy said it was "due to the volume of the fire and the uncertainty of any occupants in the building."
Clearing the Residence
According to New 8, there were reports of people trapped inside the home. Since there were initial reports of residents stuck inside the building, firefighters needed to verify that everyone was out and safe.
McCarthy verified that none of the residents were injured in the blaze, and they all made it out before the fire escalated.
“As far as we could tell, everybody had made it out on their own, but there was a dog rescued from the building, and when I left the scene, there was still a search on the way for another dog. It was unsure whether the dog got out, or if it was in the building.”

Firefighter Injuries
Two of the firefighters sustained minor injuries while they were clearing the home. Both of them went to the hospital to be evaluated. McCarthy said one was released quickly.
The families were not injured. However, their home was no longer safe for them to live in, as it had extensive damage to the front. The American Red Cross is going to assist the two adults and four children with housing.
Investigators are looking into what started the fire.
Firefighter Safety
While firefighters take many precautions when battling flames, injuries do still happen. Overall, firefighters sustain more injuries than other first responders, yet they step up every day to keep others safe.
FFLM= Fire fighter lives matter. Period. They save lives and put out fires.
Having been a Firefighter I know from first-hand knowledge it is very dangerous and they just run into the fire to save anyone or thing without thinking of themselves. God Bless All Firefighters with love and always look over them.
I hope the Fire Fighters are all OK and I hope they got the dogs out of the fire.
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read something like this before. So good to find any individual with some original thoughts on this subject. realy thanks for starting this up. this web site is one thing that is wanted on the net, someone with slightly originality. useful job for bringing one thing new to the web!
Yet another thing I would like to express is that in place of trying to match all your online degree lessons on times that you end work (since the majority people are fatigued when they get home), try to get most of your lessons on the saturdays and sundays and only one or two courses on weekdays, even if it means taking some time off your end of the week. This is fantastic because on the weekends, you will be much more rested plus concentrated for school work. Many thanks for the different suggestions I have learned from your blog.

I have learned some new things from your site about personal computers. Another thing I have always imagined is that laptop computers have become something that each residence must have for many reasons. They provide convenient ways in which to organize households, pay bills, go shopping, study, tune in to music as well as watch tv programs. An innovative solution to complete these types of tasks is a computer. These pc's are mobile, small, powerful and mobile.
Good article. It is rather unfortunate that over the last years, the travel industry has had to take on terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, along with the first ever real global economic collapse. Through everything the industry has proven to be powerful, resilient and also dynamic, locating new strategies to deal with hardship. There are usually fresh challenges and opportunity to which the marketplace must yet again adapt and answer.
