SIX ALARMS IN THE BRONX
By Bill Tompkins – www.BTFirephotos.com
The Upper Bronx has been getting a rash of multiple alarm fires lately, and in the early morning hours of September 2nd, a blaze that reached a sixth alarm kept the trend going by consuming a taxpayer with almost a dozen businesses in it.
Shortly before 12:30 AM, Bronx dispatch sent a full assignment to 4225 White Plains Rd. for a report of a store fire. On arrival, Battalion 15 transmitted a “10-75” for a fire in the rear of a record store. The store was in a 50’ X 150’ one story taxpayer.
Lines were stretched and trucks opened up, but the flames had already spread to the cockloft, and at 00:36 a second alarm was transmitted with a special call for two tower ladders. A third alarm was sounded at 00:54 and progress appeared to being made with most of the fire knocked down in the original store. But the smoke condition from the cockloft continued to intensify and at 01:27 a fourth alarm was called for with all members being withdrawn from the structure and off the roof.
Flames broke through the roof and also dropped down to most of the stores on the White Plains Road side of the building. In all, five tower ladders, six multi-versals, and five handlines, from both street level and the roofs of exposure buildings, operated. Six alarms in total were transmitted bringing over 250 firefighters to the scene. The fire was held to the original fire building, but two exposure buildings, both OMD’s were evacuated. One firefighter was transported to the hospital due to a fall. The fire was able to be placed “Probably will hold” at 04:36.
