At approximately 04:28 hours the Box Alarm was transmitted for 153 Harrell Road bringing Engine, Rescue, and Assistant Chief 1 with 8 Volunteers. Communications informed units that the Sheriffs Office was on scene with smoke showing confirming a working fire. Company 1 units went on the scene seconds later with a Two Story Cape Cod reporting smoke showing from the second floor. Assistant Chief 1 arrived on the scene right behind the Engine and the Rescue Company and established the "Harrell Road Command" assigning Engine 1's Officer as the "Division Two Supervisor' and Rescue 1's Officer as the "Rescue Group Supervisor". Engine 1's crew quickly stretched an attack line through the Alpha Side to the second floor reporting a room off with extension to the knee walls. Rescue 1 completed the primary search on the first and second floors with negative results and then began opening up for the Engine Company. Engine and Rescue operated on the fire floor for approximately 10 minutes before the fire was deemed under control. Engine, Rescue, and Assistant Chief 1 operated for approximately 3 hours before returning to service.
