Liverpool Car-1 arrived giving a report of a 2 story wood frame residence with smoke showing from the second floor. Mattydale Truck-3 arrived as the first due apparatus securing our own water supply, and deploying a 1 3/4in hand line advancing it into the residence. Liverpool engine~5, Hinsdale-TP-6 and Mattydale squad-4 not far behind, Liverpool was tasked with search and rescue while Hinsdale secured a second water supply as well as deployed a backup line. Due to the conditions on the second floor the alarm was upgraded to a signal 99.

Crews assisted with other various tasks on scene such as overhaul, securing utilities, and repacking hoses. All mutual aid units were returned to service an hour after dispatch.
