29/May/2018 - Structure Fire – “C” Shift Incident # 18-03772 – An alert neighbor discovered
smoke coming from a residence in the 800 block of Norris Drive Tuesday
morning 29-May at 11:46. Engine 4 arrived within minutes and found light
smoke coming from the singlewide mobile home. Firefighter-Paramedics
deployed one 1-3/4 handline and forced entry through the front door. Crews
found the sofa burning and quickly extinguished the fire. When the sofa was
moved, firefighters found the wall was also on fire. Crews removed paneling
and pulled a portion of the ceiling to check for extension of the fire. The
fire apparently started in the wall, burned a hole through the floor and
ignited the sofa. The remainder of the home suffered light smoke and heat
damage, but most personal items were saved. No one was at home when the fire
occurred. The Red Cross is assisting the family. Units were on the scene for
approximately on hour. Engine 4, Engine 31, Engine 18, Tender 1, Tender 4,
Tender 18, Medic 18, Battalion 1, Car 107 and Car 117 responded. Captain
Brian Rowe served as Incident Commander. |
