The person was removed from the dwelling where she was handed over to the awaiting EMS crews and was transported to BWMC. While E112 was starting a secondary search of the dwelling, the first floor flashed over. Due to interior conditions deteriorating and the rapid fire spread, evacuation tones were sounded and all crews were removed from the dwelling. Crews continued to conduct exterior operations and all units remained on scene until approximately 2300 hours. 3 firefighters were also transported from the scene to BWMC for minor injuries and since then have all been released.
