Structure Fire (Electrical)
4: Rapid Attack / Engine 1 / Tender 3 / Tender 1 (on standby @ Firehall)
12 Firefighters / 9 On Scene
Upon arrival the Deputy Fire Chief investigated suspicious smoke smell / sighting. Investigation discovered an electrical fire had begun in an outdoor plug socket. The occupants were evacuated and firefighters shut off the building electrical and opened up the outside wall to ensure there was no fire extension into the wall space. Had this electrical fire continued un-noticed, a structure fire would have caused extensive damage to the home.

This was a very close call and a is a good reminder to everyone; investigate any unusual smoke or smells immediately to determine the cause.

Call 911 for all emergencies.
