Residential Structure Fire with Exposures Two Single Family Homes Damaged 5/2/13 2230 Sarah Ct, Pinole E273, E9, E69, E72, E79A, Q76, BC7, BC71, TC10, and 1145 responded for a residential structure fire with an explosion. PPD arrived and reported a gas main was involved. E273 arrived and found the side yards between 2230 and 2220 Sarah Ct was heavily involved with fire. Fencing and a storage shed at 2230 were on fire and being fed by one open residential gas service line. Fire was also extending into both houses. E273 established Sarah IC, pulled both pre-‐connects (1 3/4" structure line and 1 1/2" wildland line) and established a continuous water supply. E273 knocked down the exterior fire and kept cooling the gas line area. Gas lines were then shut off. E69 and Q76 performed primary searches of both residences. Q76 took an additional 1 3/4" line from the Quint and deployed it from E273. Fire had extended into the attic of 2220 Sarah and the garage of 2230 Sarah. Crews extinguished both interior fires and performed salvage and overhaul. TC10 and 1145 performed Safety and PIO functions. Paul Davis restoration provided board up services. County Haz Mat responded to check on a strong odor of chlorine that was found to be pool chemicals and did not present a hazard. Cause of the fire is under investigation but the origin appears to be in or near the storage shed at 2230 Sarah. E273 checked both residences at 2100 hrs visually and with a thermal imaging camera and did not find any signs of heat, smoke or fire.

Cal Fire responded with engines, crews, dozers, and aircraft. East Bay Regional Parks responded with their helicopter and supported ground resources with water drops. The fire was pushed both upslope and downwind by 15 mph gusts into Crockett. Structure protection engines were assigned to the area of Rose St and 5th Ave. in Crockett.
