At 14:29 hours the box alarm was transmitted for a residential fire with reports of people trapped at 30 Maple Drive in Company two's first due. Engine and Rescue 1 responded on the run with a total of 7 volunteers. While units were enroute the Stafford E.C.C advised that they were recieving multiple reports of a adult and a child trapped inside. Moments later units were advised that the trapped adult occupant had jumped from the second story window and the child was safely located at school. Rescue Engine 2 was first to arrive to find a two story middle of the row townhouse with fire showing and advanced a line into side alpha. Engine 9 arrived next and secured Rescue Engine 2's water supply and advanced a line to the Charlie side of the structure. Engine 14 then arrived and reported to the Bravo exposure to check for extention into the attic. Once the bulk of the fire was knocked down Rescue 1 arrived and completed the primary searches of the first and second floor which proved negitive. Rescue 1 then began opening up the second floor for Rescue Engine 2. Engine 1 arrived as the 5th due engine then secured the secondary water supply then reported to the Delta exposure with Engine 4. Company 1 units operated on scene for approximatly 2 hours before returning to service.
