Structure Fire 08/22/2019 INC#0025

Structure Fire; INC#0025; 01:20AM; 1084 W Leighton Av; http://bit.ly/31WDwV8; Exposition Park; KNOCKDOWN: 53 firefighters extinguished fire under heavy smoke conditions in a one-story home in 34 minutes. Firefighters arrived to find reports of people still inside of the burning structure, that appeared to be a board-and-care. The primary search team found one person in grave condition. As they were pulling the first patient out of the back door, they found a second patient (also in grave condition) just inside the rear exit of the home. Firefighters initiated CPR on scene outside of the house and both patients were transported to local hospitals by firefighter/paramedics. One Engineer working at the pump panel in the street heard reports of multiple patients being rescued and ran around to the rear of the house to assist with pulling them out the back door. He suffered minor smoke inhalation injuries while assisting in the rescue and was transported to a local hospital as a precaution. At least 8 adults and 4 children were displaced by this fire. Conflicting reports say multiple occupants could still be unaccounted for, but no other patients were found in the structure during primary or secondary search (possibly evacuated and have not returned). Red Cross is responding to assist these families during this difficult time. The cause of the fire is under active investigation; FS 46; Batt 13; South Bureau; Council District 8; AR1 AR5 BC13 E10 E15 E215 E226 E266 E34 E46 E66 EM11 PH1 RA15 RA246 RA266 RA34 RA46 RA846 T15 T26 T66; CH7; 12; - Nicholas Prange
