Incident # 24-09469 - A single family dwelling was destroyed in an early
morning fire in the 4800 block of Hudson Mill Road, Thanksgiving morning
28-November. At 07:17, a passing motorist called 9-1-1 reporting a well
involved building on fire. Engine 18 arrived to find the wood frame
residential structure fully involved. A two car garage located approx. 50
feet behind the home was also on fire, as well as a pickup truck parked next
to the home. A second vehicle and boat were also damaged.
Firefighter-Paramedics deployed multiple hand lines to combat the fire,
as well as the deck gun from Engine 18. Battalion 1 requested a second alarm
for additional Tenders and personnel shortly after he arrived. About 5
minutes after arrival, a large portion of the residence collapsed. A Tender
shuttle was established for water supply. Engine 10 established a water
point at a dry fire hydrant located in a pond about 1-1/2 miles from the
scene. Crews worked for about 30 minutes to knock down the flames. Two
master stream devices and multiple large and small handlines were used. The
home, garage and most belongings were destroyed. Some ATVs and yard tractors
were saved. Units were on the scene for over four hours. The home was
undergoing extensive renovations and the owner was out of town for the
holiday, but was notified by responders and returned to the site. No
injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation. |
