Benefit for the West Dummerston Fire Department
At 0241 hrs dispatch took a call of a reported house fire across from 29 North River Rd. Units arrived on scene to find heavy fire in a 2 story house with attached garage and requested a 2nd alarm.
Two 2 1/2 lines were streched to attack the garage, and 2 1/34 lines were stretched in the house. Crews on the roof found themselves dealing with a metal standing seem roof that had been put over a asphalt shingled roof with about a 8 inch gap between the two. The interior crews dealt with 4 different layers of ceiling which hampered the firefighting efforts for quite awhile.The fire was under control in just a little over an hour. Crews from Westminster,Bellows Falls assited on scene while North Walpole covered the Wapole station. Two firefighters received minor injuries while operating at the fire.
On Friday at around 12:27 dispatch began taking calls for a report of a car into the building at 268 West St the CVS Pharmacy. 19 Rescue 1 and 19A2 along with 19C3 arrived to find a mini-van about 3 feet into the building. While the crew from the ambulance checked on the driver,the crew from the rescue began to evacuate the building and check on the structure. Crews found an odor in the building and requested that 19 Ladder 2 to the scene. Crews checked the building and the roof and determined the odor was from the tires of the van when it spun of the sidewalk. Units remained on scene for about an hour before clearing.
