1 Alarm Fire Fenway Park

Department: Boston Fire Department - [Boston, Massachusetts]


BOSTON -- After just arriving 30 minutes prior to Engine 37 Ladder 26's firehouse, Box 2342 Boylston @ Jersey St. was struck for a fire at Fenway Park. A firefighter working the fire detail at the park discovered the fire as welders were working to construct new seats in the ("old press box section" where the 3rd base line meets the Green Monster wall) and called fire alarm. Companies going into the box were instructed by fire alarm to put the stick to the roof on Landsdowne Street and run a line up on top and meet the detail officer. 37 & 26 arrived quickly and a line was stretched to the roof area and they quickly knocked down the small fire. As they were about to begin overhauling a second fire was discovered underneath another working area. Smoke began to get thicker as firefighters were able to open up the bleacher area and quickly knockdown the second fire. Engine 37, Engine 33, Engine 7, Ladder 26 Ladder 4 and Rescue 2 were on scene along with the K-7 Division 2 and Car 5 (District Chief).

Second due Ladder 15, was covering another firehouse due to training which is why Ladder 4 was the 2nd truck. Engine 56 from East Boston came in as the R.I.T. Team.
