Forcible entry and fire attack on Scenic drive

On 5/22/2021 at approximately 0145 in the morning, Modesto, Ceres, and Stanislaus Consolidated units responded to a working structure fire at the intersection of Scenic Drive and Rose Ave. Engine 3 arrived on scene to find heavy fire showing from the 'alpha' side of two 3-story, wood-framed, wood-sided townhomes. The unique construction features of these townhomes created numerous challenges for the first arriving companies. The fire was held to two units, with water damage sustained to a third.
