Once on scene the crew from engine 73-2 began setting up for water supply operations by drafting from a small nearby creek.  Then the crew proceeded to the scene and entered the man power pool. The crew from Rescue 73 filled air bottles while on scene.

Crews battled the fire on both the inside and outside of the home, help vent the roof, refilled air bottles and assisted with overhaul.  The fire was brought under control in under an hour.
