Posted: Mar. 4, 2024 8:47AMVictoria firefighters on scene to douse a fire in a supportive housing building on Swift Street.
Around 7:30 p.m., Engine 3 was called to 467 Swift Street for alarm bells and found water coming from a third-floor room. At this point the acting captain upgraded the incident to a structure fire and dispatched Battalion 1, Ladder 1, Engine 1, Rescue 1, Engine 2, and Squad 2 to help fight the fire. “It certainly did impede suppression efforts as we had to change tactics and drag a 2.5” hose to the start of the rear stairwell,” Acting Captain Matt Phillips said in an Instagram post by the Victoria Firefighters Association. “Additionally, because of the delay, the sprinklers remained on in the suite, and the water damage to the building couldn’t be stopped as quickly.”
