On Monday, March 31, 2025, at 01:03, companies were dispatched to 13 Winfield Ave for the 911 call of a resident reporting smoke filling their attic. At 01:09, patrol advised there was a heavy smoke condition in the residence. At 01:10, companies were redispatched for the confirmed working structure fire. Upon FD arrival, Chief 1 reported heavy smoke showing from the structure and established incident command. Engine 1-1 was the first apparatus on scene and promptly stretched a hoseline to the first floor. Along with crews from Engine 2-1, members searched the home and located the fire to be within the walls near the fire place. 1-1 and 2-1 opened the walls in the room & surrounding areas and extinguished the visible fire. Crews from Engine 1-4 and Tower 2 then started overhaul and confirmed the fire did not spread beyond the room of origin.
