December 14, 2008 - At 0420 hrs Departments 47, 37 (Genesee) and 10 (Galeton) were alerted for Box 47-03 (Ulysses Twp) for a reported structure fire on the Ulysses-Hickox Rd. Having realized that the incorrect box had been dispatched for the call chief 47-10 advised County that Dept. 20 should be dispatched as the call was actually in Bingham Twp. (Box 47-05). Chief 47-30 (Hager) arrived on scene and reported a working fire in a mobile home and that all occupants were accounted for. He advised incoming units to deploy two 1.75” lines upon arrival. Chief 47-30 passed command to Chief 47-10 (Healy) upon his arrival. At that time Chief 47-30 took command of operations on the B/C side of the building with Chief 47 taking command of operations on the A/D side of the structure. At that time there was heavy fire issuing from the area of the front door and windows as well as the rear of the structure. As Dept. 10 had not been recalled as the result in the change in the box assignment Engine 10-3 was directed to cover Station 47 and Ladder 10-9 was recalled. Westfield, Department 5, transferred an engine to cover Station 20 and Whitesville, NY transferred an engine to cover Station 37. The blaze resulted in the total destruction of the structure. All members of the family, which included two Junior members of Department 47, were able to exit the structure safely and there were no injuries reported during the incident. |
