Springfield Fire Company was dispatched on Sunday, October 18th, at 15:23 hours, to the Unit block of South Hillcrest Road for a Dwelling Fire. Initial calls to the Delaware County 911 Center reported smoke showing from the dwelling and the location of the occupants was unknown. Upon arrival of Chief 44-9 and 44-9B, smoke was showing from a three story single family home.
Engine 44-1 laid a 5" water supply line from the hydrant at Orchard Road and South Hillcrest Road to the front of the fire dwelling. Firefighters stretched an 1 3/4" hose line and started searching for the seat of the fire and conducted a primary search of the home for any occupants.
