On the morning of March 27th 2013 SMFR, CCVFC, Mallets Bay Fire, Colchester Rescue, and Winooski Fire responded to 125 7th Street for a reported structure fire in a mobile home. While en route units were updated that there was heavy black smoke billowing from underneath the trailer and a few minutes later that the fire started to spread into the living room. Engine 3 was first on scene with SMFR Engine 8 on scene a few minutes after. Then 1st Lieutenant Mike Bodreau '14 and Firefighter Amy McGann '15 assisted Firefighter Tarissa Starks with stretching the first hose line into the building where they were met with low visibility and high heat.

To alleviate the high heat and gain some visibility, a vertical vent was requested above the fire as the windows started to break from the heat, this was coordinated by CCVFC Lt. Tim Hackett, SMFR alumnus of '11. Shortly after the ventilation Bodreau, McGann, and Starks were able to successfully attack the fire before exiting when their low air alarms went off. Once the fire had been knocked down, Asst. Chief Erik Haversang '11 coordinated the overhaul operation inside of the building while Hackett kept a watchful eye on the exterior overhaul operations.
