District six was dispatched to 324 May Ct. in the Colonial Manor section of town for a reported house fire. FM-6 (Austin) arrived on scene and confirmed a working fire with possible extension into the attic requesting the all- hands be placed in service adding the RIC Team from 5-1 (Woodbury). Engine 631 (Colonial Manor) arrived first and stretched an 1 3/4" hand line through the front door. As 614 arrived second due and secured the hydrant the bulk of the kitchen fire had been knocked down. The crew of 614 split and half the crew went to the attic with a second hand line and the other half began out side vent work. The outside vent crew assisted by 511 (Woodbury) and 666 (Greenfields) opened the gable vents and cut two vent holes in the roof. The fire was quickly placed under control as crews searched for hot spots. The fire is still under investigation. One firefighter suffered minor injuries on scene but refused medical treatment.
