Narrative
Date/Name: Mon Jun 24 21: 52: 31 PDT 2013, Jeff Gater
Dispatched to: end of Granada Drive behind Farm Supply off Tank Farm for flames
seen. Next report indicated possibility of an airplane down into the building at
Promega (277 Granada). Cal Fire was sending their response for an aircraft down
(alert 3, category 1). Based on these reports I requesting a working incident
response and asked for additional PD units and a Watch Commander (Chad Pfarr) to
respond to facilitate evacuation. Other requests included C-1, C-2, and PG & E,
and Haz Mat Inspector Kerry Boyle.
Conditions found: E-21 arrived on scene first to find a small aircraft down on
the B side of 277 Granada with fire involving the aircraft, a Fed -Ex delivery
truck, and the roof of the building. The plane had flown thru power lines,
clipped two trees, and then crashed into the rear B side of 277 Granada. E-21
advised one fatality (the pilot of the plane) and two people unaccounted for.
Both of the two unaccounted were later located (one had left work for lunch
without his cell phone). The driver of the Fed -Ex truck (
was inside Promega making a delivery when the crash occurred, he
was uninjured.
Actions taken: E-21 gave a condition report and established command. I arrived
and assumed command as Granada IC. E-21 was assigned Fire Attack, E-3 was
assigned Water Supply, E-2 was assigned RIC and Utilities, and E-4 was assigned
to E-21 (Fire Attack) to assist with FA and structure protection. T-1 was
assigned to E-21 (FA) and to set up the aerial and to ladder the roof of 277
Granada to check for extension. E-21 indicated they had a water supply available
for themselves and T-1.
Due to a liquid spill in the interior corner B/C portion of the 277 Granada
facility the CHIRT (Haz Mat Team) was requested and responded. Cal Fire BC Paul
Lee arrived and was assigned Haz Mat Group Sup. Also assigned to the HM Group
was Nate Bass, Tom Bass, Kerry Boyle, and reynolds from County Environmental
Health. C-1 arrived and was assigned PIO. C-2 arrived and was assigned
Safety/Accountability. This function was transferred to Cal Fire Chief 3402
(Eric Cleveland) and an E-21 FF. Fire Marshall Maggio arrived and was assigned
Staging Area Manager. Crash-21, Rescue-21, WT-21, and SLAS Adam 3 and two SLAS
paramedic units were also assigned to Staging. Haz Mat-1 and Decon-1 were
requested and arrived. City Water Dept rep Noah Evans arrived at the Command
Post, as well as the PD Watch Commander Pfarr, CHP, PG & E, Red Cross (Cheryl),
SLO County Sheriff/Coroner (Sheri Kessler), and Matthew Hill, Aviation Safety
Inspector from the FAA (408-291-7681). Dan Goulet from City Utilities arrived
later, as well as a person from County Environmental Health (Reynolds).
Follow up: An NTSB investigator ( arrived later in
the evening and took over the investigation of the cause of the crash. All units
were eventually released with the exception of SLOPD and SLO County Sheriff's
Department personnel. PG & E was finishing up repair work to the power lines.
The plane was identified by its N337
recently purchased and owned by
through his company.
The Fed -Ex truck was unloaded into another Fed -Ex truck, which arrived on scene
later in the incident.
