Riding 5th, Cherrydaler catches his first fire

On Tuesday, August 22, CVFD member Joe Lowry, riding as the fifth man with the career crew on Engine 103, worked on the interior for the first time during a working fire. Engine 103 was dispatched around 4:00 a.m. to 5436 North 22nd Street for a house fire and found a 1 1/2 story home with the rear well involved. Arriving third, Engine 103 took an attack line in the front door, knocking down the bulk of the fire inside the rear of the home. Lowry assisted on the attack line and with overhaul. E103 was on scene for just under two hours and after picking up our hose and refilling our air bottles, got back in quarters around 6:30 a.m.
