Just after 2 pm, after running fourteen calls,  Engine18 was assigned to the first alarm for a residential structure fire.  E18 arrived first on scene to find a one story, residental structure with fire in 25% of the attic.  E18 forced entry and began an aggressive interior attack with a 1 3/4" preconnect.  A water supply was secured by E30 who assisted with the attack and protection of exposures.  District3 arrived on scene and assumed command.  Due to conditions he ordered an evacuation of the structure and a change to defensive tactics.  All interior units withdrew and were accounted for during a PAR (personnel accountablility report). 

The fire was contained to the area of origin.

FF Clemmons and FF Hunter (Sta30) salvage fine china before completing overhaul.
