Working fire in Gary, IN 1-31-15
The Gary, Indiana Fire Department responded to six fires within a 12-hour period on Saturday, January 31st. This was the last of those incidents, which was dispatched just before noon and occurred at 24th and Colfax, only two blocks north of Station 13. Earlier that morning, another fire broke out at 36th and Colfax.
Like the other five structures involved, this one was also vacant. It was a single-story, 35 by 50-foot frame building with an attached garage. The main fire appeared to be in the rear section, which looked like an addition to the original home. A first-in team made an interior attack, which helped knock down a significant portion of the flames. Afterward, crews pulled back and finished off the fire in the rear addition from the outside. In the photos, you can see Engines 8 and 13, as well as Truck 2 at the scene.
