Incident # 22-01230 - One building was destroyed and two others were damaged in an afternoon fire in the 900 block of Drew Hill Ct, Tuesday 15-February at 13:30. The homeowner had dumped ashes from the fireplace on a pile in the yard. The smoldering ashes ignited dry grass and spread across the yard damaging her doublewide mobile home. The fire reached a singlewide mobile home located close to the doublewide and set it on fire. The homeowner heard the noise, then discovered the well involved singlewide. She notified 9-1-1. Engine 36 and Tender 36 arrived quickly, finding the singlewide fully involved and fire around one end of the doublewide. Firefighters deployed multiple hand lines, first protecting the doublewide and then working to extinguish the singlewide. Crews deployed additional hand lines to a second singlewide mobile home  which had started burning from radiant heat. The second singlewide had a metal exterior and the heat ignited the wooden studs inside the walls. Crews removed some of the siding to reach the fire and were able to save the second singlewide. The doublewide mobile home suffered damage to the vinyl siding and minor structural damage. The singlewide in between the other two was completely destroyed. No one was injured in the fire. Fire units were on the scene for three hours. 

Engine 36, Engine 9, Tender 9, Tender 19, Tender 32, Tender 36, Brush 36, Medic 9, Medic 19, Battalion 1 and Car 118 responded. The Forestry Commission also responded. Battalion Chief Scott Feather served as Incident Commander.
