Incident # 25-010172 - A storage building and workshop were destroyed in an early morning fire in the 100 block of Calloh Drive Wednesday morning 24-Dec. At 06:31, a neighbor reported what they thought was a fire in the woods behind a residence. A second caller reported to 9-1-1 that a building on the property was on fire. Engine 19 arrived a short time later to find the two buildings fully involved, endangering the doublewide mobile home on the property. Crews deployed multiple handlines to protect the mobile home and extinguish the fires in the two buildings. A wooden privacy fence and approximately 1/2 acre of woods was also on fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
