11-25-2018 (Gloucester County) NATIONAL PARK - 10 North Grove Ave. - All Hands Dwelling

Task Force 81 was dispatched at approximately 02:45 for a dwelling. 801 arrived to a single story single family dwelling and reported heavy smoke showing from what appeared to be the basement. The All Hands was struck, with possible occupant entrapment. Engine 812 arrived first due, secured their own water supply, and went into service. After operating for just over ten minutes, the emergency evac was given due to the loss of the floor. Due to the gas meter being compromised, crews were forced to remain defensive with four lines until the gas company could secure the supply. PD made contact with the residents and confirmed all occupants were accounted for. The fire was placed under control after about an hour.
