Originally dispatched as a chimney fire, BVFD units arrived on the scene with visible fire on the roof of a single family home. It was about 4:30 on February 13th.

All residents had safely evacuated.

Crews found advanced fire conditions throughout the attic and began to open up and extinguish the fire despite dealing with harsh road conditions and almost one foot of snow in the area. Rescue Squad 715 performed searches throughout the structure controlled utilities before assisting with suppression activities. PE715 stretched a line to the second floor of the home and worked to extinguish the fire as Truck 715 opened up and laddered the structure.
