CINCINNATI, OH:
CINCINNATI FIRE DEPARTMENT
MEDIA RELEASE
District 3
Media Contact:
District Fire Chief Anson Turley 352-2333
Date: 02/10/02
Time: 09:13 a.m.
Good afternoon,
This is Cincinnati Fire District Chief Anson Turley reporting on a 2-alarm fire that took place this morning in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Carthage. The call for the fire came in at 09:13 a.m. Many callers were reporting smoke from the house at 123 W Seymour Avenue.
When fire companies arrived they were met with heavy smoke coming from the second floor of the structure. Engine Company 2 and Ladder Company 2 were first on the scene.
When the companies first entered the building visibility was poor because of heavy smoke. Ladder 2 used a new piece of equipment issued to firefighters called a thermal imaging camera. With this device firefighters can see the relative heat emitted by various objects during a fire. This allows them some visibility in a structure filled with smoke.
This camera enabled Nathaniel Stubblefield a firefighter with Ladder CO 2 to find and rescue the first victim of the fire. A 42-year-old female whose name is being withheld until the proper notifications is made. The second victim a 6 year old girl was also rescued from the fire. Both victims are listed in critical condition at this time. The women were transported to University hospital and the child was taken to Children's hospital. Firefighter Joseph Laury from Engine Company 9 rescued the child.
Engine companies are not issued thermal imaging cameras so this rescue was accomplished by means of a primary search. It took 45 firefighters approximately one and one-half hours to bring this fire under control. The building is what is termed balloon frame construction. What this means is the walls have no built in protection from the spread of a fire. A fire that starts in the basement will quickly spread unchecked to the roof and upper floors in a very short period of time. This type of construction made this a very difficult fire to extinguish. No firefighters were injured on the fireground. The cause and origin of the fire are undetermined and under investigation. Damage is set at $120,000.00
For further questions call D3 Chief Turley at 352-2333

CINCINNATI, OH:
CINCINNATI FIRE DEPARTMENT
MEDIA RELEASE
District 3
Media Contact:
District Fire Chief Anson Turley 352-2333
Date: 02/10/02
Time: 09:13 a.m.
Good afternoon,
This is Cincinnati Fire District Chief Anson Turley reporting on a 2-alarm fire that took place this morning in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Carthage. The call for the fire came in at 09:13 a.m. Many callers were reporting smoke from the house at 123 W Seymour Avenue.
When fire companies arrived they were met with heavy smoke coming from the second floor of the structure. Engine Company 2 and Ladder Company 2 were first on the scene.
When the companies first entered the building visibility was poor because of heavy smoke. Ladder 2 used a new piece of equipment issued to firefighters called a thermal imaging camera. With this device firefighters can see the relative heat emitted by various objects during a fire. This allows them some visibility in a structure filled with smoke.
This camera enabled Nathaniel Stubblefield a firefighter with Ladder CO 2 to find and rescue the first victim of the fire. A 42-year-old female whose name is being withheld until the proper notifications is made. The second victim a 6 year old girl was also rescued from the fire. Both victims are listed in critical condition at this time. The women were transported to University hospital and the child was taken to Children's hospital. Firefighter Joseph Laury from Engine Company 9 rescued the child.
Engine companies are not issued thermal imaging cameras so this rescue was accomplished by means of a primary search. It took 45 firefighters approximately one and one-half hours to bring this fire under control. The building is what is termed balloon frame construction. What this means is the walls have no built in protection from the spread of a fire. A fire that starts in the basement will quickly spread unchecked to the roof and upper floors in a very short period of time. This type of construction made this a very difficult fire to extinguish. No firefighters were injured on the fireground. The cause and origin of the fire are undetermined and under investigation. Damage is set at $120,000.00
For further questions call D3 Chief Turley at 352-2333
