Fire companies were dispatched for a 1 alarm fire at that address minutes later.

Engines 2, 1, and 3
Medic 1 and 3
Ladder 2
Squad 3, RIT 4 ( Engine 4 )
Car 1 and 5
 
Engine and Medic 1 arrived on scene and reported light smoke showing from a single story structure. Crews quickly entered the structure and found heavy fire in a rear bedroom.

Engine 2 arrived on scene and tagged a hydrant while ladder 2 went to the roof for ventilation.

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 Chief released most fire companies within an hour. Engine 1 and 2 with ladder 2 stayed on scene for the investigation and overhaul.

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.

You have got making your houses down to a fine art Ben, i really need to have a go at this myself. I know you are buisy but would you be able to show us how you make them and what tools you use please ? There is no rush, when ever you get chance :)9.
