Engine 2's crew quickly searched the residence and Engine 3 took a second hoseline into the structure. The fire was knocked down in about 20 minutes.

The fire is believed to have been started by an electric space heater. Crews held the fire to the rear of the house, but the home is still a loss. Damage was determined to be $80,000.00. The Red Cross is assisting the family.


I hope everyone enjoyed these pictures and thanks for taking the time to view them.

Another great story, Ben.  Many thanks for sharing it.  I see new levels of detail in the structure with glazing in the windows, and I like the detail of the family car in the driveway and the "smoked" helmets.
