Rescue 33 responded with 8 personnel at 16:26 hours and its crew assisted with overhaul at the scene. Traffic 33 responded with 2 personnel at 16:27 hours and its crew assisted with traffic control at Engine 33-1's location. Ambulance 33-2 was due on the 2nd alarm and was tasked with rehab for the firefighter's onscene. Engine 33-2 responded later with 6 personnel to assist with mop up and clean up.
Through diligent efforts by all companies on location the fire was contained to the building of origin with minimal damage to a dwelling less than 25 feet away.
