At 0437 hours, the box alarm was transmitted for the apartment on fire with people trapped at 6503 West Forest Road in Kentland. Engine Company and Mini-Pumper 33 responded on the alarm with seven volunteers. Upon arrival, the Engine Company laid a supply line in and reported a two-story apartment house with fire showing from the top floor rear. The crew stretched the 250-foot pre-connect and made their way to the second floor. After reaching the hallway landing, it was determined that the fire was in apartment 203. Entry was made into the unit and fire was located in the dinning room, kitchen and hallway. All visible fire was quickly extinguished and the back-up personnel searched the main fire apartment for the reported trapped occupant(s). After negative results, the crew started opening up the immediate fire area to check for extension. The fire was declared under control and Command scaled the incident back to Companies 33,9 and 55. Volunteers from Kentland 33 returned to service within two-hours. One Kentland fireman received burns to his knuckles, was treated and released from the Washington Hospital Burn Center within one-hour.
