Residential Structure Fire with Mayday. Willam Street, Millvale, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania - March 29th, 2021
Just before 4pm, Millvale 191 Chief requested fire units to respond to a working fire located along William Steet. 191 Chief reported a working fire on the porch of the home.
Crews quickly arrived but were met with heavy fire on the first floor quickly spreading to the second floor.
Several crews entered the home and began an aggressive interior attack. A crew working on the second floor experienced a sudden flashover which resulted in several mayday calls being transmitted. Three firefighters safely escaped down the stairs with a fourth firefighter escaping out a second floor window.
Thankfully all the firefighters involved received minor injuries and were able to safely escape before RIT teams made entry.
After the mayday was cleared, 191 command evacuated the structure and struck a second alarm.
Crews remained on-scene for several hours before the fire was placed under control.
This video is being posted to serve as training and lessons learned for those involved. There is no room for Monday morning quarterbacking or insensitive comments. The fire departments involved including 191 command did a fantastic job given the circumstances and everyone came home.
