09/29/2014 - Around 1130 hours on the morning of Monday, September 29, 2014 the Brockton Fire Department struck their Box-1324 for 12-14 Walnut Street. Several callers inside the building reported smelling smoke. Squad-A arrived to find smoke showing from the two and a half story occupied multiple dwelling. Companies found a basement fire that spread up the walls and into the cock loft area of the building. The fire was quickly knocked down, after companies opened up the walls and found the cause of the smoke. At least three hand lines were stretched and operating at the fire. Ladder-1's stick was thrown to the roof on the alpha-bravo side of the building. Squad-A, Engine-3, Engine-4 and Ladder-1 worked on the scene, while Car-56 had command. Due to Tower-1 being browned out due to budget issues, East Bridgewater Tower-1 was brought to Brockton Station-1 for station coverage. This was the first fire for the new Car-56 vehicle, which is a 2014 Chevrolet Suburban command vehicle. No injuries were reported.
