<br />*** REPORT FROM THE LINE OF FIRE ***
<br />CINCINNATI, OH:
CINCINNATI FIRE DEPARTMENT<br />MEDIA RELEASE<br />District 4<br /> <br />Media Contact:<br />District Fire Chief Jay Boeing 352-2344<br />District Chief Howard Reed 352-2311<br />Date: 01/18/02<br />Time: 03:39 a.m.
Good morning,
This is District Chief Howard Reed from the Cincinnati Fire Division,reporting on a two-alarm fire that occurred this morning in the Madisonville neighborhood of Cincinnati. We received a call from the Cincinnati Police at 0339 a.m. about a working fire at 5811 Sierra Street. Upon our arrival, firefighters found heavy fire and smoke coming from a single family 2-story with an attic frame structure. The structure was engulfed in flames on all 3 floors. This caused our tactics to change from an offense operation to a defense operation.
The first reports we received was that all occupants were out. Firefighters found 2 victims on the front lawn. Medical treatment was given by paramedics from Rescue 46 and the victims, an elderly female and a middle aged male were transported to University Hospital, where they received additional medical treatment. Their condition at this time is unknown.
There were no reports of any additional injuries to civilians or firefighters.
The house and contents were completely destroyed by the fire. Fifty firefighters took 2 hours to completely extinguish the blaze. The estimated loss to the structure and contents is set at $100.000.00.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Because of severe fire damage, the investigators have not determined if the home had working smoke detectors.
For any additional information, contact District Chief Jay Boeing at 352-2344.

The first Company to arrive on scene reported a single-family home with heavy fire showing to the rear. Firefighters using handlines tenaciously battled the blaze within what proved to be a two-story residence, confining the fire to the structure and extinguishing the flames in just 18 minutes. There were no injuries. Two adult women and a pair of teenage girls were displaced by the fire. They were referred to the American Red Cross for placement assistance. Loss from this fire is estimated at $45,000 ($35,000 structure & $10,000 contents).

<br />· The ORIGINAL Chicago FireHISTORY: Ten years ago on Jan 17, 1992 at about 1600hrs Engine 14 was dispatched to 937 N. Racine (just 2 blocks from their quarters) where they had a fire. However, the house they had just passed at 824 N. Racine completely exploded. This was the start of a very unusual and trying situation with over 18 SIMULTANEOUS FIRES IN A HALF MILE AREA caused by a surge in the gas mains which caused pilot lights to become like blow torches. Battalion Chief Bob Hoff (now Chief of Training) was directing operations at 822 N. May when he was told of people trapped in a fire at 857 N. May, and he went there & rescued an elderly lady. Unfortunately four people died in the area. The CFD and in particular the Main Fire Alarm Office operated under extremely demanding conditions at this unusual incident. [CHGO-18]. 10:13p.m.

<br />*** REPORT FROM THE LINE OF FIRE ***
<br />CINCINNATI, OH:
CINCINNATI FIRE DEPARTMENT<br />MEDIA RELEASE<br />District 4<br /> <br />Media Contact:<br />District Fire Chief Jay Boeing 352-2344<br />District Chief Howard Reed 352-2311<br />Date: 01/18/02<br />Time: 03:39 a.m.
Good morning,
This is District Chief Howard Reed from the Cincinnati Fire Division,reporting on a two-alarm fire that occurred this morning in the Madisonville neighborhood of Cincinnati. We received a call from the Cincinnati Police at 0339 a.m. about a working fire at 5811 Sierra Street. Upon our arrival, firefighters found heavy fire and smoke coming from a single family 2-story with an attic frame structure. The structure was engulfed in flames on all 3 floors. This caused our tactics to change from an offense operation to a defense operation.
The first reports we received was that all occupants were out. Firefighters found 2 victims on the front lawn. Medical treatment was given by paramedics from Rescue 46 and the victims, an elderly female and a middle aged male were transported to University Hospital, where they received additional medical treatment. Their condition at this time is unknown.
There were no reports of any additional injuries to civilians or firefighters.
The house and contents were completely destroyed by the fire. Fifty firefighters took 2 hours to completely extinguish the blaze. The estimated loss to the structure and contents is set at $100.000.00.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Because of severe fire damage, the investigators have not determined if the home had working smoke detectors.
For any additional information, contact District Chief Jay Boeing at 352-2344.

Firefighters using handlines tenaciously battled the blaze within what proved to be a two-story residence, confining the fire to the structure and extinguishing the flames in just 18 minutes. There were no injuries. Two adult women and a pair of teenage girls were displaced by the fire. They were referred to the American Red Cross for placement assistance. Loss from this fire is estimated at $45,000 ($35,000 structure & $10,000 contents).

<br />· The ORIGINAL Chicago FireHISTORY: Ten years ago on Jan 17, 1992 at about 1600hrs Engine 14 was dispatched to 937 N. Racine (just 2 blocks from their quarters) where they had a fire. However, the house they had just passed at 824 N. Racine completely exploded. This was the start of a very unusual and trying situation with over 18 SIMULTANEOUS FIRES IN A HALF MILE AREA caused by a surge in the gas mains which caused pilot lights to become like blow torches. Battalion Chief Bob Hoff (now Chief of Training) was directing operations at 822 N. May when he was told of people trapped in a fire at 857 N. May, and he went there & rescued an elderly lady. Unfortunately four people died in the area. The CFD and in particular the Main Fire Alarm Office operated under extremely demanding conditions at this unusual incident. [CHGO-18]. 10:13p.m.
