Structure Fire - Franklin Park Borough (7/11/2004)

At 3:10am, Northwest Regional received a fire alarm for 1808 Cheviot Rd. Immediately after that, the home owner called 911, reported a fire, and hung up. Franklin Park Station 158, Franklin Park Police, and McCandless Franklin Park EMS were notified. Franklin Park officer Mitchell (aka 109C2) pulled up reporting a large residence well involved, fire through the roof. 158C1 arrived shortly thereafter, immediately requested Ohio Twp Station 220 be notified for a full response. Sewickley Station 258 was also notified for RIT response. Defensive operations were initiated. No one was injured, and the homeowners made it out safely. It is believed to have started on the rear patio, where there was a cooking fire early in the evening. Everything was destroyed, including two cars and a boat. The homeowner stated the house was valued at 1 million dollars, contents valued at 500,000. Units began returning approx 8am.

Though I was on scene long before any water is placed, it was against McCandless Franklin Park EMS Policy to take pictures. So I had to wait until 7am, resulting in pictures lacking any fire.
