Ladder companies simultaneously provided ventilation and access to the fire within the confines of the wood frame home. The fire, which spread through attic and void spaces, was ultimately confined to the chimney and remote areas in the attic and extinguished by first-due companies within 30-minutes. There were no injuries to firefighters or civilians as a result of this incident.
