So what were you gonna do?




Bridgeport (CT) house fire
At approximately 11:15pm on March 6, the Bridgeport Fire Department received multiple calls for a house fire on Connecticut Avenue near 6th Street. First arriving East Side companies found a multi-family heavily involved. The fire quickly communicated to both the B and D side exposures, with heavy fire conditions consuming the third floor of the D-side exposure. The D-side exposure, also a hulking multi-family, proved difficult on the third floor due to many knee walls and already taxed firefighters. A second alarm equivalent was needed to put the fire under control. Photo by Keith Muratori / firegroundimages.com

The pictured building on fire is the D exposure. The tip operator is waiting for water so he can begin a second exterior assault on the heavy fire in the third floor.
