At 13:30 on Saturday Afternoon Pawtucket Fire Alarm Dispatched Engine's 5,1,2 Tower Ladder 1 & The Battalion Chief To 799 Mineral Spring Avenue Between Smithfield Avenue & Overland Avenue for a reported structure fire, Due to the amount of calls being received Engine 3 Ladder 2 & Rescue 1 were dispatched to fill out the assignment. Engine 5 arrived and reported a "Code Red" with fire in a rear bedroom area of a occupied 2.5 story woodframe. Firefighters stretched in lines via sides one and four and pushed the fire out side three while members checked the upper floors for any extension, Ladder 2 arrived and setup to vent the roof. Incident Command Requested A additional Engine for a RIT Or FAST Team but the requested was canceled shortly thereafter. Rescue 1 transported a patient to a area hospital with injuries of unknown extent, The fire prevention office is currently looking into a cause. The recall was sounded at 15:16. This is the second fire of the day earlier in the morning firefighters responded to a small fire in a large mill type building in the 500 block of Mineral Spring Avenue which was the second fire in that building in less than a week, also today's fire was directly across the street from a garage fire at 810 Mineral Spring Avenue which occurred on June Third 2009.
