Fire alarm response discovers fire



Units from HQ station were alerted to the 300 block of Lincoln Way East for a fire activation. Upon arrival, crews began to investigate, locating a smoke condition in the building. Crews requested the assignment to be upgraded to a building fire and made entry. Crews located a second floor room on fire and quickly extinguished it prior to additional units arriving. As mutual aide units arrived they assisted with opening up the area to ensure no extensions to other parts of the building. Units remained on scene for overhaul and after operating for almost 2 hours placed in service by Command 1 (Capt. Martin).
