On Wednesday morning at about 4:50 am, the WFD was dispatched to a reported structure fire at the Eastern Christian Children’s Retreat in the Oak Lodge. Chief 230, Asst. Chief 240 and Safety Officer 250 responded. 250 arrived on scene and reported smoke showing. 230 established command. 230 called for a second alarm to be transmitted to the scene and to have cover companies at the firehouses. Engine 236 arrived first on scene and stretched hand-lines and conducted a primary search. All Wyckoff units arrived on scene as well as mutual aid crews and began overhaul and ventilation operations. All fire was knocked down. Residents and staff were relocated to another building. Great job by all on scene.
