Crews deployed a 200', 1.75" attack hose through the front door, where fire was found, and quickly extinguished, in the ceiling of the bathroom.

Engine 21-4 (LT. Testa) arrived as the 2nd due engine and deployed additional five inch hose, utilizing a "Split lay" method from the end of 21-1's hose, to the hydrant.

Ladder 21 (Hoseman Holmes) arrived and set the main aerial ladder device to the roof, while the crew began working on opening up the ceiling and wall to check for additional fire.

Additional units arrived on-site and assisted with ventilation of the structure.

Quick efforts of the first arriving crew kept the fire in the area of origin.

No injuries were reported at this incident. Assistant Chief Kelley held the "Fieldstone Drive Command".
