| At 1510 hours, Stations 2, 22, Charles 2, 7, 5, Truck 7, EMS Stations 29 and Charles 2 were alerted to 26815 Fowler Court for the reported house fire. Initial reports advised the resident arrived home to find the house on fire. Chief 2A arrived with a two story, single family on side "alpha" with nothing evident. Engine 22 arrived next, laying the 4" LDH into scene and advancing a 1.75" to the front door. Chief 2A established the "Fowler Court Command" and advised there had been a significant fire but was out upon arrival. The assignment was scaled back to the units from Station 2 and the balance was returned. Command requested the Fire Marshal to the scene. As firefighters were setting up ventilation, a second house fire was alerted in the first due and Engine 21 cleared and responded. The fire is under investigation by the State Fire Marshals Office and is believed to be electrical in nature. Units operated for an hour and forty-five minutes. |
