Upon arrival Fire Chief Herschaft called a signal 20 working fire on the 1st floor of a 2 story wood. . The hose crew encountered zero visibility throughout the fire attack. The primary search came up negative by the Rescue Crew. The fire was knocked in the hallway and bedroom and a 2nd line was stretched to the 2nd floor to cut off the fire spread in the balloon frame structure. 2nd floor crews did an excellent job of opening up and stopping the rapid spreading fire within the walls. Secondary search came up negative and all occupants where accounted for. Branford Crews responded as R.I.T and carried out overhaul once North Madisons R.I.T arrived and relieved them. All units where clear at approx 1200hrs.
