Second Alarm 21263 Smith Switch Road

Master streams and big lines in operation

Transmitting the third Alarm-----totally unusual in Loudoun.  Like once every ten years

3-638  1053    E-610 (22)- 303 (18)- 404 T-690 (22) Command Post 600  Planning Commissions(????) 600

Stage at Smith Switch near W&OD Bike Trail
 
Operations is reporting about 1000 4' X 8' sheets of styrofoam on fire on the roof.  It appears to be a large 1 story commercail building possible under construction for a data center.  Fire is knocked down, extensive overall will be needed and gross decon will be needed for members operating in fire attack.

FYI  E 303 is from Dulles Airport and E-404 is from Fairfax.

Operations is reporting warping in the roof, and crews are being pulled back

The union website has the best photos for now, but LFNA is still working on it


On the run down  E-680 was probably running as E-23 and E-698 was probably E-24  Quint 18 was running in place of Tower 11.

Loudoun has reserve and moved around units that are taking the place of an out of service for repairs unit keep their original number.  Therefore at any given time quint 18 could be staffed by the drews of E-11-18-24 or Tower 11.  Not the way i would do it, but the way it is.
