Thursday, June 3, 2010 - At 0527 HRS. units with the 2nd battalion were alerted for the house on fire at 4193 Minnesota Ave. N.E. Engine 27 went on the scene with fire showing from side b. Rescue 3 arrived and went to work helping units gain entry into the building, once inside crews encountered heavy fire on the first floor. Once units had the fire knocked on the first floor they tried to gain access to the second floor but were unsuccessful due to the steps being burned out. At this time the 2nd BFC pulled units out of the building and called for the 2nd alarm, bringing Engine 15. The Engine staged with second alarm units and was later released. After being pulled out units went to a defensive operation. After the fire was knocked on the second floor units went back into the building and mopped up.
