Engine 61 was first arriving finding a 1 story residence with fire showing on the alpha side of the residence. Tanker 33 (SGT Sewell) was next arriving stretching a second line into the residence and assisted 61's crew with extinguishing the fire on the first floor and the attic space. Chief 6 quickly scaled the assignment back to Engine 61 and Tanker 33. Units operated on scene for 1 hour before returning to quarters.
