While en route to Station 10 on a transfer, Tower 7 was alerted for a report of smoke in the townhouse just down the street from Station 10. Ambulance 810 arrived on the scene first and reported light smoke showing. After a closer investigation they determined the need to fill the box assignment. Tower 7 arrived on the scene directly behind Engine 831 and quicklly advanced to the second floor where a small fire was found in the rear bedroom. In addidtion to placing ladders, advancing lights into the building and beginning postive pressure ventilation, the crew of Tower 7 made a thorough search of the second floor and assisted in the quick knock on the fire. Afterwards a thorough overhaul operation was completed and the Tower cleared the scene. Needless to say, the Tower never made it to Station 10 for their transfer. Additional units on the scene included E841 and E809.
