Incident # 13-3416 – At 09:38, Firefighters were sent to a residence located at 2135 Logan Farm Road for a reported structure fire. Engine 26 arrived minutes later to the remote rural area to find the single story dwelling completely destroyed and almost burned out. A neighbor driving past the home spotted the smoking remains and called 9-1-1. The home evidently burned sometime during night, possibly during a thunderstorm that produced a great deal of lightning. The home had been vacant for some time, but had power to the structure. The only thing that remained standing was the four brick veneer walls and the chimney. Firefighters deployed a booster line to cool the remaining coals and ash. All other responding units were cancelled. Station 26’s crew remained at the scene for over an hour. The Sheriff’s Office in investigating the incident.

Engine 26, Tender 26, Medic 26 and Car 118 responded. Battalion Chief Scott Feather served as Incident Commander.
