Late Friday December 18th the snow began to fall and didn't stop until Sunday December 20th. During that time the HOUSE PAIN racked up allot of runs, which is not unusual however, the snow definitely did not slow them down. On Saturday afternoon a BOX ALARM was struck for a report of SMOKE IN THE BUILDING in the 1200 blk. of Simms Pl. N.E. bringing ENGINE Co. 10 FIRST DUE and TRUCK Co. 13 SECONDS DUE. THE DIME went on the scene with SMOKE SHOWING from the second floor locating a fire in the kitchen of an apartment that had extended to the cockloft. THE DIME extinguished the same while laying and using 150' of 1.5" and 3" and racked up 1 hour of PT. TRUCK Co. 13 went to work opening up and assisting with containing the fire and accessing it. Less than 12 hours later a BOX ALARM was struck for a reported HOUSE ON FIRE in the 600 blk. of A St. N.E. bringing TRUCK Co. 13 SECOND DUE and ENGINE Co. 10 FIFTH DUE. Engine Co. 18 arrived on location to find a two story, ordinary, single family with SMOKE SHOWING from SIDE A. TRUCK Co. 13 arrived shortly there after and forced entry to SIDE C and assisted with a fire that had traveled from the besement to the cockloft and operated on all floors, opening up and laddering the building. THE DIME laid out and reported SIDE A - orginially placed in the RIT GROUP but later redeployed to DIVISION I to assist units with opening up and extinguishing fire that had extended through the first floor. After racking up there attack line and being placed in service 10 ENGINE was once again requested to RUN A LINE IN A HURRY to the exposure building as it had been disocvered that the fire may have extended to the same. In the end 10 ENGINE had laid and used 500' of 1.5" and 650' of 3" while racking up 2 hours of Pump Time and used four SCBAs. The storm ended early SUNDAY MORNING but the runs kept coming and THE HOUSE OF PAIN keeps the pace.
