pAt 0457HRS Bedford Communications alerted Company 1 Bedford 1st Due Company 5 Forest 2nd Due and Company 13 Stewartsville RIT to the 700blk of Grove Street for the reports of a residential structure fire. Engine 1 with three arrived only a few minutes later to find a two story balloon frame residential structure with heavy smoke showing from side Bravo and Charlie. There were several civilians outside of the structure advising there were still two children inside unaccounted for. Engine 1s crew advanced a dry 1 34 line through side Alpha and immediately experienced heavy smoke conditions and very high temperatures inside. FF McGinnis and Deputy Chief Scott made it to the second floor and discovered a child unresponsive in a hallway. The patient was removed from the house and turned over to awaiting EMS on scene. Both Firefighters re-entered the structure to locate the second subject but was unable to reach the bedroom due to the extreme heat. At this time Command ordered a Vent Enter Search VES to be performed by Ladder 1s crew. FF Rice was able to enter the bedroom via a ground ladder. A young child was located on the floor and removed from the bedroom. FF Wodicka was waiting at the top of the ground ladder to bring the patient down to the awaiting EMS personnel. Firefighting operations continued for over three hours until the fire was marked under control by command. A total of three patients were transported to local hospitals in serious condition. The young child found in the bedroom succumbed to their injuries and was pronounced on scene.
