Just after 8:00am the Truck crew was alerted for a possible structure fire at the corner of James Street and Monroeville Road in District 1. Chief 10 arrived with smoke emitting from a third floor apartment and also had a telephone pole and three large transformers on the ground just past the scene. E-12 arrived first with T-4 arriving and assisting the interior crew in with E-12's hose team to perform search and ventillation operations of the building. The exterior crew laddered the building, attempted to secure the utilities and ran fans to assist in the ventilation of the third floor. Due to the hazard of the downed pole and transformers E-12 needed to extend their attack line before quickly knocking down the fire. The fire was contained to a single third story apartment and all occupants made it out safely. One firefighter was evaluated at the scene for possible dehydration and over exertion.
