Second Alarm Structure Fire on Main Street
March 28, 2015
The Meredith Fire Department along with Stewart's Ambulance were alerted at 16:05 to a report of a structure fire at 133 Main Street. 45 Ambulance 4 arrived on scene at 16:48 and advised of a two story single family dwelling with smoke showing from the eaves. 14C2 requested a first alarm immediately after the report. Meredith personnel then arrived and began suppression operations. Crews encountered a heavy smoke condition in the building and fire on the second floor. The first alarm brought companies from Laconia, Center Harbor, Moultonborough, Holderness and New Hampton to the scene.
14C2 requested a second alarm at 16:43 for additional manpower due to the difficulty extinguishing the fire in several void spaces in the dwelling originally built in 1869. This brought additional help to the scene from Gilford and Bristol. Ashland and Sandwich provided station coverage for the Meredith stations. Command advised at 17:30 that the fire had been knocked down and crews were beginning overhaul. All companies were in service at 19:38 hours. Command: 14C2 Companies on scene: 14 Engine 1, 14 Tanker 5, 14 Tower 1, 14 Engine 3, 14 Utility 1 (Air Unit), 13 Ladder 1, 5 Engine 1, 5 Rescue 1, 15 Engine 4, 12 Engine 5, 17 Engine 1, 8 Engine 1, 8 Engine 4, 8 Utility 1 (Air Unit), 4 Engine 4 and 4 Rescue 1.
