I ran across this photo of a fire I was at a few years ago in West Seattle. The new construction building was set on fire around midnight (arson), and I was working in West Seattle that day and we were first-in to the fire. We had been on scene for about two minutes at the time this photo was taken, so you can see that it was very well involved by the time the fire was reported.
The fire took around an hour to bring under control, and four hours later we finished cleaning up and headed back home to the station. If you look closely at the pickup truck in the center of the photo, you can see a hose line heading off toward the right of the image out of sight. That was my hose line at the corner of the building, protecting the rest of our crew as we worked to rescue some residents trapped in the building next door.
It was a great night of firefighting!
