FULLY INVOLVED GARAGE FIRE 6/29/06
Battalion 14 responded with TF-60, RA-860, E-86, RA-86, E-76 and EMS-14 to 5025 Cartwright Ave. in North Hollywood on a reported structure fire.Responding companies reported a "loom up" enroute and found a well involved detached garage behind a single family dwelling.
As firefighters advanced the initial fire attack lines they heard small explosions inside the structure that later proved to be fireworks that had been stored inside.
Members were able to salvage some very valuable original artwork that had been inside the rear portion of the garage. The occupant, an artist who had created much of the artwork inside a makeshift art studio in the garage over a 25 year period, was extremely grateful for firefighters efforts.
Pictured (above) is Firefighter Nick Robideau (FS 60) preparing to place a line on the fire.
