The latest video from Chief David Decker is a house fire Thursday on Chestnut Street in Newark, Ohio.  An evacuation order comes at 16:17 into the video.

Here’s some of what Chief Decker wrote with the video:

On February 20, 2020 at 2019 hours NFD units were dispatched to the area of 54 Chestnut Street for a report of a fire. While responding, Dispatch reported multiple calls coming in reporting a duplex on fire and it was unknown if the house was occupied. When the call came in, Battalion-1, Ladder-3 and Medic-3 were on an EMS call. Battalion-1 and Ladder-3 were able to clear from the EMS call and respond to the house fire.

The following equipment was on the initial assignment for the house fire:
Rescue-1 (engine/rescue) with a crew of 3 – First Due
Medic-1 with a crew of 2 – Firefighter/paramedics in a transport unit

Upon receiving multiple calls the run was upgraded to a working fire requiring 2 additional engines to be added.
