COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE FIRE – THE COUNTRY STORE
This morning at approximately 9:08 a.m., the Farmersville Fire Department assisted the Tulare County Fire Department with a commercial structure fire at The Country Store.
Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy smoke coming from the single-story commercial building and immediately began an offensive fire attack. All occupants had safely evacuated the business, and no injuries were reported.
Due to the fire conditions, additional resources were requested to assist with suppression operations. A hard road closure was also established on Road 156 between Avenue 280 and Avenue 288 while crews worked at the scene.
The fire was reported under control at approximately 10:09 a.m. Crews remained on scene for several additional hours conducting overhaul and mop-up operations to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
Southern California Edison and County Roads/Public Works were also requested to assist with the incident.
The Farmersville Fire Department appreciates the coordinated efforts of Tulare County Fire Department and all responding agencies and personnel who assisted with this incident.
