This report comes from Dan McInerney:
"I arrived on the scene while heading home from work, just in time to see the fire being brought under control. The structure was a two-story frame house, 25 by 70 feet, with significant fire extending through the second floor and into the roof. There was a collapse in the rear area, which appeared to be part of an enclosed porch. I believe the 2-11 alarm was due to a communication issue at a similar house to the east, which was quickly secured after units arrived. All the suppression apparatus assigned to the 2-11 were staged on Chicago Avenue in front of E117’s station. Notably, E83 responded to the 2-11 with a light wagon. The weather was extremely cold, with ice covering nearly everything, and the sun was just beginning to rise over the fireground."
"E117 was the first due and had three lines deployed. E96 backed down to supply water to TL14, while E113 provided support to the Snorkel."

Plate And Frame Heat Exchanger
Removable Plate Heat Exchanger (RPHE) is a type of heat exchanger composed of a series of plates which are held together with gaskets. The plates are connected in a plate pack that forms a sealed Pressure Vessel. The plate pack is assembled between a fixed frame plate and a movable pressure plate and is compressed by tightening bolts.
RPHEs are quite efficient as they have a large surface area compared to other heat exchangers. Heat transfer within the heat exchanger occurs between the plates and the fluids that flow through them. One fluid flows through the plate openings in each of them, and the heat transferred is determined by the size and number of plates in the exchanger. The heat -exchanging process is repeated in each of the plates and the collected heat is transferred to the other fluid.
Plate and Frame Heat Exchangers have proved beneficial in the food and beverage industries where they are used to maintain a safe temperature during the processing and storage of foods. In addition, they are used in chemical manufacturing to cool the various chemicals that are used in this industry.
