CARY - Spectators watch as firefighters battle heavy fire conditions at a house fire Tuesday morning, July 4th. Engine 6 was first on scene at 106 Cordova Court, a two-story wood-frame structure measuring approximately 3,200 square-feet. Other first-due units included Engine 3, Ladder 3, Truck 6, Rescue 2, and Fairview Engine 1. Due to the difficulty of the fire attack and the hot weather, additional units were subsequently special called including Ladder 5, Truck 7, and Fairview Engine 2.

Reports of a woods fire, ignited from the structure fire, brought Brush 9 to the scene. EMS units on scene included EMS 8, EMS 14, EMS 1471, and EMS 204. Additional ambulances were requested, one for patient evaluation and one for stand-by. One elderly occupant was transported with smoke inhalation and burns. Later, an overheated firefighter was also transported for observation.

SUBMITTED BY KERI WRIGHT, DENVER FIRE DEPARTMENT PIO COMM
DENVER - The Denver Fire Department, which recently was able to win a tax rate increase, reaped the benefits of additional personnel during the first week of increased staffing. Starting July 1, two full-time firefighters are at the station 24 hours a day.

At 0435, Denver and Pumpkin Center departments were dispatched to a structure fire in the Denver Industrial Park. Engine 10 and Ladder 10 arrived within three minutes. Units struck a second alarm at 0445 adding East Lincoln to the assignment.

Five engines, one ladder and one rescue company were on scene with twenty firefighters from three departments. Control was issued at 0457. Having personnel at the station was instrumental in controlling and containing the fire so quickly.
