Incident # 22-01442 - At 11:30, Wednesday 24-February, neighbors in the 600 block of Cedar Creek Rd saw smoke and heard an explosion. Upon investigating, they found a woods fire and a well involved residence down a long driveway. The home was not visible from the road. 9-1-1 was notified. Engine 18 arrived to find the home had already collapsed, an approximately one acre grass and woods fire and two cars on fire. Firefighters deployed multiple handlines to combat the fires. A 150 gallon LP tank was venting, sending flames 15 feet into the air. The structure was actually two singlewide mobile homes that were placed together to form a doublewide and had a secondary roof installed over both structures. The roof had collapsed, so Firefighters had to remove both metal roofs to reach the burning materials underneath. The winch from Car 105 was used. Crews worked for about 30 minutes to contain the fires and were on the scene for two hours performing overhaul. Neighbors reported someone had been burning brush earlier in the day. It appeared the brush fire burned through a small field to the mobile home and vehicles. A nearby single family residence was not damaged. Water supply was conducted using Tenders.
Engine 10, Engine 18, Tender 1, Tender 4, Tender 13, Tender 18, Tender 26, Tender 27, Medic 13, Medic 18, Battalion 1, Car 103, Car 105, Car 112, Car 118 and Car 119 responded. Battalion Chief Scott O'Quinn served as Incident Commander.
