Norwood House Fire

Birmingham Fire & Rescue

Birmingham Firefighters responded to a two-alarm house fire in the Norwood area of Birmingham earlier today. Immediately complicating their efforts upon arrival was the fact that the temperature was nearing 100 degrees and would go over 100 degrees during the fire.

Firefighters worked quickly to get a handle on the fire and protect two very close exposures. While there wasn't much the on-scene Firefighters could do for the home, they did save the neighboring residences from damage.

Due to the extreme heat, crews were rotated in every 15 minutes.

Companies on the scene included:

• Engines 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 23, 24, 29, 31
• Rescues 13, 22 & EMS 4
• Truck 1, PIO, FI4, Training
• Air Unit 2
• Battalions 2 & 3

Great job, as always!
