Units Assist Company 2 with Garage Fire
Sun. Feb 21st 2010

The following Press Release was provided by Company 2.  At 09:48 members of Company 4 were notified to standby at station while crews from company 2 responded to a working fire.  Company 4 provided riverfront coverage with 9 personnel while Co. 2 operated on the working fire.  In addition 3 company 4 members assisted company 2 in operations as these members where in New Martinsville at the time of the incident.

PRESS RELEASE
DATE:              February 21, 2010
FROM:            LARRY COUCH, FIRE CHIEF
RE:                  Garage Fire at 439 North Main Street
 
Fire destroyed a garage, van and thousands of dollars in collectibles Sunday morning. The call came into Wetzel County E911 at 9:47 AM reporting the Fire. Engines and personnel from both the Steelton and Ohio Street Station’s of the New Martinsville Fire Department were enroute to the scene at 9:52 AM and on the scene at 9:55 AM.
 
Crews found the garage heavily involved in fire on both its first and second floor’s. Fire Fighters shielded 2-nearby structure’s, including Mr. Gamble’s home and another garage located within inches of the garage on fire, while preparing for an interior attack of the blaze.
Shortly into their interior attack and as a result of a heavy “fire load” in the structure, crew’s were pulled from the building and their offensive attack became a defensive attack, deploying a large deluge gun to gain control of the blaze. Once controlled, personnel re-entered the structure and continued to extinguish numerous hidden fire’s in several voids of the second floor and roof.
The structure is considered to be a complete loss as well as the gamble’s van, a 1999 Plymouth Voyager that was in the garage at the time of the fire.
 
The fire was determined to have started on the 1st floor of the garage, in a portion used as a work shop and appeared to have been the result of a failed connecting hose for a portable propane turbo heater.
 
Damage’s to the Garage have been set at $30,000 dollars, to the van at $24,000 and to the remaining contents of the building at $17,000 dollars for a total of $ 71,000 in estimated damages. There were no civilian or fire fighter injuries in the blaze. New Martinsville Fire Fighters were assisted at the scene by Wetzel County EMS, New Martinsville City Electric Department as well as the Water Department and at least 3-members of the Paden City Fire Company, who were in New Martinsville at the time of the fire. The Paden City Fire Company was on stand-by during the fire.
