They called in a structure fire on the corner of Marshall and G with flames showing.
This was a vacant house and this started on the outside wall....makes me wonder but I have not heard what the fireman thought started it.
The fireman arrived dress and ready for work and had it out in no time at all. Then came all the work of checking the whole house inside and out with heat sensors and pulling broads off. A lot of people think once the fire is out the firefighters work is done...Wrong, it is just starting, the overhaul and clean up takes a lot longer then the fire.
our fire engines hard at work too. It is nice to have dependable equipment.
The fire is out, the work begins and the figuring out how this fire started.
Again we thank the firefighters of Jefferson County Fire District for getting this fire out so quick. This was in a residential neighborhood with houses close enough it could spread if let get out of hand.
Also thanks to Jefferson County EMS as they respond on all structure fires to stand by since they are so dangerous in case someone gets hurt.
Last night it was Warm Springs Fire and Safety that stood by as they were covering for Jefferson County Fire. Warm Springs is a combination fire department of fire and medical. This fire was near the ambulance hall and since they were standing by they were at the station and arrived almost immediately. Being firemen too they had already located the nearest hydrant. What a great crew and we appreciate it.
