10/31 Structure Fire

At 1110hrs CHFD was dispatched to 364 Chestnut Hill Rd for a reported residential structure fire. C28 arrived, to find heavy fire showing from the C/D side. Engine1 arrived shortly after and stretched an 1 3/4 to the D side, knocking down a majority of the exterior fire while a second line was being stretched to the front door. Truck 1's members forced the front door & began primary searches which were hindered by Collier's Mansion conditions throughout the entire residence. The second due Engine company began vertical & horizontal ventilation to lighten interior conditions. Primary & secondary searches turned up negative & the fire was placed under control a short while later. Thanks to all who responded!
