Maureen Court in Winslow Twp. for the house fire with people reported
trapped. EMS Assistant Chief 25502 arrived on scene and reported a 2 story

and made an aggressive interior attack. Engine 86 was second arriving and
pulled an additional attack line and met up with the Quint's crew on the
first floor. With the fire on the first floor knocked down and the
protection of Engine 86's line, the Quint's crew was just about to do a
search of the second floor, when command ordered an evacuation due to water
supply issues. With the second alarm being sounded and police confirming all
occupants were accounted for, units switched to defensive operations. The
Quint's crew quickly took their line into the exposure to check for
extension with crews from Winslow. The tower ladder from 253 opened up and
crews continued with their exterior attack. The fire was brought under
control and is being investigated by county fire marshals. The Quint and
