Tones set: 01:14AM. Structure Fire. Dispatch advising a working fire. Galax Fire was dispatched second due, as well as Independence Fire for tanker support which was later canceled.
Upon arrival, C-14 found a single story wood frame residence with nothing showing. After performing a 360 of the structure, light smoke and flames was discovered on the A/B corner.
E-1 arrived on scene, deploying one 1 3/4 line to the front door, initiating an aggressive interior attack on the fire, which proved successful. The bulk of the fire was held to the living area, leaving only smoke damage through the remainder of the residence. The fire was marked under control in approximately 5 minutes, after the arrival of E-1. Galax Fire units assisted in overhaul and successfully rescuing 1 cat from the residence!!
A huge thanks to Galax Fire Department and Independence Volunteer Fire Department for their response!!
