This Kitchen is CLOSED

... Reporting From On Scene
Incident Type:  Residential Structural Fire

At 4:23PM we responded to a reported house fire.  First on scene, we found flames and heavy smoke showing from both floors of the two story wood framed 1750 square foot single family home.  Our crew extinguished the fire with hand lines and completed primary and secondary search and rescue.

The occupants were alerted to the fire by smoke alarms and were able to evacuate with only minor injuries and rattled nerves.  Thankfully, the working smoke alarms activated in this situation, because given the heavy volume of smoke and fire, this could have easily been a tragic outcome.

For anyone out there that wishes to down play the importance of working smoke alarms, fell free to email us at crew14.members@gmail and we will gladly have this family contact you and argue the facts.

As most of us know, more fires begin in the kitchen than almost any other room in the home.  In fact, residential cooking has always... and still continues to be one of the leading causes of fire-related deaths.

Being safe is in our own hands when at home. We can only hope that more people will make it their mission, not to live in unsafe conditions, by ensuring that their smoke detectors are working properly.

Smoke alarms - a sound that we can all LIVE with!
