02/March/2025 - Structure Fire - "C" Shift

Incident # 25-01785 - At 18:21, while returning to their station from a previous response, Medic 18 observed a thick column of black smoke several miles away in the distance. They notified Battalion 1 that they would be attempting to locate the source of the smoke. After approximately ten minutes, they found a fully involved doublewide mobile home at the end of Valiant Lane south of Sniders Crossroads. The home was at the dead end of the small dirt road about a 1/4 of a mile off of Scuffletown Road. A structural response was dispatched to the location. Once on scene, Firefighter-Paramedics deployed multiple handlines to the building. The fire had been burning for quite some time and most of the building had already collapsed. The home was not occupied. It appeared the fire originated from a woods fire in the area. No injuries were reported. Fire units were on the scene for 3 hours. 

Engine 4, Engine 18, Tender 1, Tender 4, Tender 8, Tender 13, Tender 18, Medic 13, Medic 18, Battalion 1 and Car 111 responded. Battalion Chief Chris Jones served as Incident Commander.
