With "very slick streets- Pumper 37" arrives at 1:28 am reporting the "1-story house totally involved" in flames.
At 1:35 am- Battalion chief 107 announces "a defensive mode" firefight- with "3" handlines being used.
At this time- the occupancy of this house is unknown.
At 1:40 am however- Chief 107 urgently requests "2 ambulances" for 2 injured firefighters (two firefighters were injured at another house fire just a few hours earlier).
One injured firefighter was reported to be "a female- hurt in a collapse" at the fire and taken to Research Med Center.
Her injuries did not sound life-threatening.
