In an unusual call the fire department was dispatched to a possible structure fire after law enforcement had arrived on the scene for reports of a door being kicked in at a home on James Street in the Berkley Community Thursday morning.

According to fire officials the home was vacant. There was power to the structure and whoever broke in had turned on the stove, possibly as a source of heat.

The stove was left on however, and the heat had caused damage to the areas behind and above the stove area. This could have easily turned into a full blown structure fire had it had not been found when it was.

A man noticed that a side door of the home had been damaged so he called for law enforcement.

In addition to Patrol units, a Detective with the Aberdeen Police Department responded to the scene.

One area of their focus was on the obviously damaged door and a partial shoe print that was reported to be visible.

According to law enforcement this was the second vacant house to be broken into in Aberdeen this week.

At the first home a piece of plywood covering an opening was removed to allow for whoever it was to make entry.

Law enforcement officials stated that nothing was taken from either location.

As of this report officers remained at the scene conducting an investigation and interviewing nearby residents.

Responding today were units with Aberdeen Police Department along with Aberdeen Fire & Rescue. The other mutual aid fire departments that had been dispatched were canceled shortly after the arrival of the initial Aberdeen fire unit on the scene.

This week members of Pinehurst Fire Department are in the process of conducting some important lifesaving training in conjuction with the 911 Telecomunicators in Carthage.

Tonight we joined Pinehurst Fire Chief Carlton Cole and Deputy Chief Derrick Clouston to observe the second round of training at the department completing several "Mayday" training scenarios.

It is the Chiefs goal to have each shift complete this training in conjuction with each shift at the 911 Center having the opportunity to train as well.

Unlike most training where dispatch and fire crews are practicing to save you or me, in this case they are practicing saving one or more of their own.

In a call no firefighter wants to hear, if an emergency occurs on a fire ground with a firefighter in distress a Mayday call is sent out.

A Mayday call can be initiated for a number of reasons. A firefighter trapped in a basement who is running out of air in their breathing apparatus, or it could be a firefighter who is injured on the third floor of a burning building unable to escape, a building structural collapse scenario, or so many other situations can lead to a firefighter needing help.

Fortunately in today's modern emergency services, emergency personnel train and prepare to respond to an emergency event just in case something like this were to ever happen.

A Mayday Call is usually initiated by either a firefighter verbally calling for help over the radio, or there is a button on each portable radio that can be pressed to initiate a Mayday call.

Immediately upon receiving the electronic Mayday signal there is a protocol that is implemented by the Telecomunicators.

First they radio the on-scene commander alerting them to the Mayday signal that has been received requesting verification if it is an actual Mayday call or an accidental system activation.

The scene commanders are also able to see the Mayday call details. Each radio can be traced to a specific person or team.

Scene commanders track who is where inside of a house or commercial building and where they are assigned to be working. This allows for on-scene commanders to begin the steps of responding to the problem immediately if needed.

At each fire or other significant incident at the very beginning a preselected number of firefighters are assigned to be prepared to respond as the Rapid Intervention Team or RIT as it is called in the fire service.

It varies some by department, but these trained firefighters usually respond with a RIT bag that might contain things such as forcible entry tools and hand tools to do things like cut wires. They also might carry things like a spare air mask to replace a damaged one, or an extra air bottle should the firefighter in distress run low on air.

In addition Telecomunicators at the dispatch center will automatically dispatch out a Second Alarm for additional nearby fire stations to respond, usually requesting specific units to respond from each station such as engines, tankers, heavy rescue trucks, a ladder or tower truck or other specified apparatus. Officials in the Public Safety Office and the Fire Marshals Office are also notified. In addition EMS units are dispatched and Aircare is placed on stand-by.

A firefighter being trapped or injured is something that we hope that we never see here at home, but situations do happen to emergency responders every week somewhere across the country.

Fortunately for those that are on the frontlines facing danger every day, officials in Moore County are always prepared to respond to an emergency, even when it is one of their own needing to be rescued.
