At 11:26 hours this morning, Taunton and Mutual Aid units were dispatched to a reported Residential Fire in the Breckenridge neighborhood of the Taunton Fire District. The initial 911 caller reported that their house was on fire and was filling with smoke. Taunton Car 1 (Chief Phelan), Car 2 (D/C Harris) and Engine 4 (FF Messina) responded on dispatch. Car 1 arrived on scene with nothing evident from 3 sides of the structure, and assumed Command. Car 1 subsequently observed heavy smoke emanating from the basement stairs.

First arriving companies were met with heavy fire in the basement and a Signal 99 (Working Fire) was declared.
