18/June/2013 - Structure Fire – “C” Shift

Incident # 13-03281 – A kitchen fire damaged a residence at 33 Beasley Street Tuesday evening 19-June. Firefighters were notified of the fire at 19:37. Engine 19 arrived to find moderate smoke conditions from the eaves with fire venting from the rear of the doublewide mobile home.  Crews forced entry through the front door and quickly knocked the flames in the kitchen with one 1-3/4 handline. They pulled the ceiling in the kitchen, but there was no extension in to the attic space. The fire did damage the exterior of the residence where the flames burned through the stove vent and extended up the back wall. The interior of the home suffered moderate smoke damage and light heat damage. Most of the fire damage was limited to the area of the kitchen. No one was at home when the fire occurred. It appeared the fire originated on the stove.

Engine 1, Engine 19, Engine 24, Tender 1, Tender 12, Tender 19, Tender 27, Medic 19, Battalion 1 and Car 118 responded. Battalion Chief Scott Feather served as Incident Commander.
