3RD ALARM
CAPE COD ANIMAL HOSPITAL
1415 Osterville - West Barnstable Road, Marstons Mills
Approx 2000 hours Monday 9 March 2009

COMM FIRE
COMM Fire received calls for a fire at the Cape Cod Animal Hospital located at the intersection
of Osterville - West Barnstable Road and Race Lane in Marstons Mills around 2000 hours on
Monday, March 9, 2009. On arrival, crews faced heavy fire conditions with exposure problems
in the large wooden animal hospital, occupied by a number of cats and dogs. Initial efforts to rescue
animals and deploy hoselines, including the master stream from Ladder 307, occupied first alarm crews.
The second alarm was struck shortly after arrival, and a third alarm struck minutes later, bringing
apparatus and approximately 100 personnel from several surrounding departments. The fire burned
for several hours and crews remained on scene through the night. While several animals were lost,
no personnel or civilians were injured.
