From the WTF Watch Desk: Rockland firefighters arrived to a heavily involved home with a person reported inside, entered for search and fire attack, and located the occupant. The three-alarm response brought mutual aid and rehabilitation support; investigators said no alarms were heard and the cause remains under investigation.

A person-reported residential fire compresses every decision. Search, fire control, water supply, mutual aid and firefighter rehabilitation must expand quickly without outrunning verified information.
