| Quick Knockdown by Highway 58 VFD HAMILTON COUNTY, TENN – Sunday, February 24, 2008 – At about 6:45 AM, the Highway 58 Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched for smoke in the residence at 4907 Northwind Drive in Lakeshore Estates. While en route, firefighters were advised by the dispatched that the homeowner believed the smoke to be the result of a fire in the heating and air unit on the outside of the house and that he had the fire out. Engine 1651 arrived on the scene and reported a two story wood frame dwelling with smoke showing. Investigation showed that the heating and air unit was on fire and the fire had extended into the building and into the crawl space underneath the home. Firefighters stretched a line into the house through the front door and also to the B side of the structure. Engine 1642 arrived and laid a supply line from a hydrant at the corner of Northwind Drive and Shore Manor Lane. Quick work by firefighters contained the majority of fire damage to the outside unit and walls and floors adjacent to it. There was smoke and heat damage throughout the house but firefighters definitely saved the structure by attacking the fire in the manor they did. There were no injuries as a result of the fire. The fire is under investigation but is believed to be electrical and accidental in nature. Hamilton County EMS and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department assisted. |
