At 00:45 hrs this morning, we were requested to stand by for a second alarm for the City of New Brunswick at Eng 5 Qtrs. Soon after being dispatched, we were upgraded to respond to the scene. Car 27, Eng 27 & Utility 27 responded to 165 Livingston Avenue. Crews were split up to do searches and to assist with suppression on the fire floor. While searching the fire, building crews were forcing doors since this was a boarding home with many people living in it. While completing a primary search, Chief 27 forced doors on the first floor and found a victim in a bed who was carried out by a crew from New Brunswick to an awaiting EMS unit. Crews operated on scene for 3 1/2 hrs before being released by Command and returning to Station 27. Great job by everyone on scene working to contain the fire.
