Structure
Dispatch: 
Wednesday, October 7, 2015 - 12:39am
Arrival: 
Wednesday, October 7, 2015 - 12:46am
Address: 
800 block N. Gammon Rd.
Madison, WI
Narrative: 

Ladder 2 was dispatched to the 800 block of N. Gammon Rd. for possible smoke in the basement. When they arrived, the power was out in the building.
 
Because there was no Knox Box (key vault) available, firefighters were preparing to force entry into the building. A resident showed up with a key just in time.

As firefighter/paramedics on Medic 2 searched the upper floors for smoke or fire, Ladder 2 checked the utility room. They found no smoke or fire in any part of the building.
 
Ladder 2 remained on scene until MG&E arrived to address the electrical problem that likely led to the power outage.
