This morning at approximately 2:45 a.m. fire units were dispatched to a structure fire on Academy St. in Goshen. On arrival units found a double-wide mobile home fully engulfed in flames. Due to the advanced progression of the fire, a defensive attack was declared and members went to work. After speaking with the tenant of the home, it was determined that no one was at home at the time of the fire. Multiple fire units operated on scene for approximately 3 hours. We would like to thank the following agencies for their assistance with equipment and personnel: City of Troy Fire Department, Luverne Fire Department, Glenwood Fire Department, Pike County Sheriffs Office, South Alabama Electric Cooperative & the Alabama Fire Marshals Office. The fire is currently under investigation by the State Fire Marshals Office.

We are happy to share with our community this successful grant application through Wiregrass RC&D. The Goshen Volunteer Fire Department secured a maximum funding grant of $5,000 for turnout gear for members of our department. Each set of gear totals in excess of $3,500. Without these funds, our members would have been forced to serve with outdated gear. We are thankful of the generosity and successful application process.
