2 Alarm Fire - Cottage St, Athol, MA - 1/11/19
FD was initially called out for a smoke invest in the area of Hapgood and Cottage St. Before companies arrived dispatch started receiving calls for a building fire on Cottage with flames coming from the roof! Engine 4 arrived confirming a working fire and I believe they went right to a second alarm. I missed some transmissions as they cut in and out on the way there.
Luckily was in a hydrant district which helped crews contain the fire to the building of origin. There were no human injuries that I'm aware of, but the owner did report a dog was in the building and presumed deceased.
Lots of mutual aid responded to the scene and to stations for coverage. It was a great job and a well orchestrated incident on a super cold night. (It was 6° on my ride back home)
