| Highway 58 VFD Makes Save HAMILTON COUNTY, TENN – Monday, April 28, 2008 – Shortly Before 6:00 PM, the Hamilton County 9-1-1 Communications Center received a fire alarm at 6815 Bluff View Circle. As the Highway 58 Volunteer Fire Department was being dispatched the 9-1-1 center was notified of a structure fire at that location. Bluff View Circle is located in a fairly remote area with no hydrants in the area so firefighters quickly requested a tanker response to the scene. As the first engine arrived, firefighters observed smoke coming from the rear of the large two story wood frame dwelling and quickly stretched a line to begin fighting the fire. Firefighters were able to ascertain that the majority of the fire was on the back porch of the house. Quick work by firefighters kept the fire from spreading much beyond the porch. There was minimal fire damage to the interior of the house and some smoke spread throughout the house but caused very little damage. The majority of the damage was to the porch itself as well as one exterior wall. The homeowner explained to firefighters that some children had left fireworks on the rear porch. How those fireworks ignited is unclear but that it thought to be the cause of the fire. The exact cause of the fire is under investigation by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department. One teenage boy who was fighting the fire with a garden hose prior to the arrival of firefighters later began complaining of possible smoke inhalation and was treated by medics with Hamilton County EMS. Medic 3 transported him to Erlanger Hospital. There were no other injuries as a result of the fire. |
