Incident report from Springfield Fire Rescue Division Facebook page: "Just after noon on 8/8/21, C Unit was dispatched to 2810 Woodford on a report of a house fire. Responding companies were E5, E7, T4, R1, M4, and Battalion 1. First due companies found heavy fire venting out both the front and back of the house. A transitional attack was started in an attempt slow the fire's progress, but when companies tried to make entry for an interior attack, they found the building was already collapsing inside. All personnel were withdrawn and a defensive strategy was used, with multiple hand lines and the ladder pipe from T4."
