Green Bay, WI 5th+ Alarm Apartment Fire : Thursday May 23, 2013 Green Bay Metro Fire was dispatched to 3415 Hilltop Way, in the Village of Allouez, for the report of smoke coming from the basement laundry room. En-route crews were advised of multiple calls and the reports of persons unable to exit due to smoke conditions. Upon arrival companies found light smoke on the exterior and moderate smoke conditions on the inside. Crews advanced into the basement to attempt extinguishment. Heavy smoke and heat conditions were found in the basement and the fire appeared to be traveling into the void spaces. With little headway being made crews attempted to cut the floors out of several apartments to try and access the fire in the basement. Conditions deteriorated rapidly and crews were ordered out of the building so a broad size up could be made. At this point the fire had traveled up to the attic space and started to spread. Crews made several attempts to get ahead of the fire and cut it off by trench cutting the first floor and pulling ceilings on the second floor. Each time they tried the fire had already advanced past them. It was then decided to to to a full defensive attack. 

Due to the size and complexity of the structure MABAS Card 4-11 was eventually upgraded to the 5th Alarm. Crews initially had some water issues until engines could be placed inline to relay pump. With numerous ladder pipes and towers operating, the Village of Allouez water system was starting to deplete. It was determined it could no longer keep up and a tender shuttle was started. MABAS Card 4-12 to the 5th Alarm was called to supply water. Two inter-divisional strike teams were also requested for Engines and Tenders.
