Crews from Hollywood arrived and began an attack on the fire. Additional units from Stations 2, 1, and 9 also arrived and took their assignments on the scene.

A burn victim was located at the scene and after an assessment by EMS, a helicopter was requested to fly the patient to a burn center. Water Supply 5 proceeded to Grand View Haven to establish a water supply point for tanker operations. Tanker 51 also responded on the call a short time after the initial dispatch with four volunteers.
