We had made our way to the Page 6 of 7 Printed: 10/27/2016 09:32:33 Incident Report 2003-0001523 -000 Tukwila Fire Department (LIVE) Narratives keybox on the north side of the building. The keys in the keybox did not gain us access into the building. The key would fit the locks to the 2 doors we tried but they were also locked on the inside and couldnt gain entry. A subscriber had also just arrived and didnt know which of his personal keys fit which locks. The facility was also gated and locked from about two thirds of the building towards the east end. We were able to gain entry through the gate with one of the keys in the keybox.By this time the subscriber had gotton into the building through the front door. I directed my driver to secure a supply and that I wanted two 13/4 lines layed. At this point we gained entry into the building through the front door. This area was clear, no smoke detected. We headed east into the shop area. The area was clear, no smoke detected. At this point we we felt a door that led to the paint booth areas and it was cool. We opened it and it was dark with smoke. I gave my incoming Captain an update at this time and he told me E52 to take command upon their arrival. We exited through a apparatus bay door just north of where we were. We assisted with executing the 21/2 preconnect with the 2 13/4 bundles. As soon as we had 2 in 2 out with the arrival of E52 we went inside with a line. B51 took command at this time. We searched for the fire in a counter clockwise motion with 2 lines and a thermal imager. Although it was very dark and smoky you could tell the paint booths were in the middle of the area we were searching. At this time I asked command to consider opening the bay doors for ventilation and visibility. After going through one bottle of air we had not found the fire in the maze of paint booth areas. We had to exit to replace our air bottles. While they were being replaced it was announced that the fire was found on the south side of the building on the other side of the paint booths in a recreational vehicle in one of the bays of the shop. At this time we were reassigned as standby on the north side of the building manning a line. End of Report Page 7 of 7 Printed: 10/27/2016 09:32:33
