Serving anywhere there's been fire since February 2003

At around 8:50am on August 23rd, Indiana Fire Association Station 100 was dispatched for a residential structure fire with possible entrapment on Washington Street in Indiana Borough. 100 Asst. Chiefs 1 & 2 arrived and reported smoke showing. Crews arrived on scene and found a 2-stroy residential structure with heavy smoke showing from the first and second floors on Side D. Engine 104 laid in and split the crew for fire attack and search and rescue. Tower 101 arrived next and laddered the building. Then they split the crew for ventilation and an additional attack line while Engine 106 went to staging. Interior crews reported the fire was knocked down within 10 minutes and rescued two dogs from the second floor. Crews operated on scene for approximately an hour and fifteen minutes. It was determined that one of the dogs was chewing on a parachute flare when it launched behind the entertainment center. Fire damage was contained to the dining and living rooms with smoke damage to the entire structure.
