On Tuesday morning at 1000 hours Companies 5, 1, 2, 7, 59, 19, Truck 1, Truck 7 were alerted to the St. Clements Island Museum at 38370 Point Breeze Road in Coltons Point for the reported building fire. The caller advised of smoke filling the establishment. Engine 54 arrived on the scene to a single story commercial building with nothing evident. The crew extended an 1 3/4" hand line into the building on the A/D corner. A quick search of the building was completed and the source of the smoke was located at a water fountain near the restrooms. The assignment was scaled back to units from 5 and 1. Once ventilation was complete all units were returned. Engine 54 operated for approximately 20 minutes and returned to quarters.
