David Decker – On March 6, 2019 at 2315 hours, NFD units were dispatched to a report of a house fire at 584 Prior Avenue in Newark, Ohio. While responding, dispatch advised they had received two calls reporting a fire at this location.
This was a 20×45 2-story house situated on a very narrow street. NFD responded with 2 engines, 1 ladder, 3 medics, and a battalion chief, in addition to two automatic-aid engines. NFD total strength for this fire was 17 firefighters. Battalion-1 was the first arriving unit, and reported fire in the back (Charlie side) of the house on division 1. The fire was contained with two hose lines, and the cause of the fire is under investigation. No injuries were reported, however two dogs perished in the fire. This video was recorded with a Motorola Moto Z Force Droid in an iBolt suction cup windshield mount.
SPECIAL NOTE- Due to how narrow this street is the video is blocked by Rescue-1 who was assigned to establish water supply. You can skip forward to 16:50 to pick back up on the action. Sometimes this is unavoidable and the nature of our business.
