“WORKING SMOKE ALARMS ALERT OCCUPANTS OF FIRE:
Early this morning Chief 1, Engine 1, Engine 2, Engine 4, and Rescue 1 responded to a structure fire on Hitching Post Road.
The first due crew (E-1) found fire on the first floor of the home and mainly inside a wall. The fire was quickly contained and knocked down before it could extend to any other levels of the home.
Homeowners were woken up to the sound of a smoke alarm and quickly found smoke inside the home. Luckily, the alarms were working and the fire was found before it was much worse.”
