When first arriving units arrived on scene they found the house fully engulfed with flames. The working fire dispatch was sounded and alerted Engine 181 to respond to the scene. Tower 18 set up tower ladder operations upon their arrival to the scene. Engine 181 worked with Engine 816 on side alpha extinguishing that side, as well as the garage area.
