At 2304, RW911 dispatched the New Hope Fire Department for a reported structure fire, in Station 1’s primary response area. NH100 (Chief McCauley) and Raleigh FD Engine 27 (dispatched as the closest engine) were first on scene, reporting a working fire in the rear of the house. New Hope Engine 1 arrived next, and crews stretched an attack line to the rear, finding a gazebo attached to the rear deck that was full involved.
New Hope Engine 4 arrived next, supplied Engine 27 with additional water, and stretched a second attack line to the rear of the house. Crews from Engine 27 used chainsaws to cut the deck, allowing access to the fire that was burning under the deck. The fire was quickly knocked down, and crews prevented any extension to the house. Total units on scene included New Hope Rescue 14, Tanker 10, Tanker 11, Tanker 9, Car 2, and Eastern Wake Pumpers 1 & 2.
