In the early hours of November 29th, Great Falls Fire Rescue responded to a reported structure fire at 1122 2nd Avenue SW. Truck 2 was the first GFFR unit to arrive on the scene, where it encountered heavy smoke and flames emanating from what appeared to be a vacant trailer. An aggressive exterior attack on the fire was initiated by Truck 2. Upon arrival, Engine 1 deployed a second supply line to support Truck 2 in extinguishing the fire.
Conversations with neighboring residents indicated that the trailer had been unoccupied; however, it was noted that squatters had previously accessed the property for shelter. A thorough search of the trailer was conducted, and no occupants were located. The structure sustained extensive damage as a result of the fire and is classified as a total loss.
Given the severity of the fire upon arrival and the prevailing weather conditions, a second alarm was activated, recalling off-duty firefighters, and a request for mutual aid was made to assist with city coverage. GFFR successfully extinguished the fire approximately 15 minutes after the initial report. Following the extinguishment, the cleanup process proved to be labor-intensive due to the stiffness and beginning freeze of many fire hoses. As of the present time, the cause of the fire remains undetermined.
