Description of the incident

At 6:14 p.m., Manchester Fire Department Companies reacted to a reported building fire in 613 Cedar Street, which companies were hit with a well -stressed fire in a residential structure of 2½ story. The individual inmate in the building was outside on arrival and reported that he thought the fire started in the garage. Companies have brought several manual lines to the residence to contain and control the promotion of the fire and at the same time protect the search and rescue efforts. The building was searched and released with a “all clear” explained by the rescue company.

Truck companies cut off the garage doors to access the three stuck garage, which enabled additional hose lines to attack the majority of the fire. During the extinguishing and control, the rear of the garage roof collapsed and added the difficulty of extinguishing the effort. Companies were working to put down the majority of the fire in all areas, followed by an extensive revision of the structure. A “loss stopped” was announced shortly before 8 p.m.

This incident went to 2 alarms, which brought 8 engines, 3 trucks, 1 ambulance, 1 squad and Manchester Fire Support employee for incident command and fire examinations.

At this point, the Fire Brigade Marshall explained that the fire is still being examined, but is not considered suspicious.
