Squad 9 responded second due to a recent house fire in Hockessin, arriving shortly after Squad 19. This footage is from Squad 9’s nozzleman, who stretched a 200’ crosslay off 19’s rig up a steep hill. Due to the house’s offset from the road, the backup man extended the line at the front door. Squad 19 advanced to the first floor, while Squad 9 pushed to the second floor, encountering heavy fire conditions.
The second floor and attic were well involved. Squad 9’s nozzleman knocked the bulk of visible fire while crews conducted primary searches. Crews then opened up the attic, revealing additional fire that was subsequently extinguished.
