Shortly thereafter, Tanker 6 responded driver only and Rescue Engine 62 responded driver only. Engine 61 layed out from the intersection of High Avenue and Piedmont Drive. Engine 61 arrived on scene with a brush fire to the rear of the residence, with exposure to two sheds. Chief 6B established the Cobb Island Command and with the exception of Engine 143 and Rescue Squad 10, had the remainder of the unit's stage and the Cobb Island Market. Engine 61 pulled the 150ft. bumper line and started to extinguish the bulk of the fire. Tanker 6 picked up engine 61's line and established a water supply. Engine 143 arrived on scene and pulled a 200ft. crosslay and assisted Engine 61 crew with fire suppression. Rescue Squad 10 arrived on scene on side A of the house and assisted with the overhaul.
