Upon arrival, the first engine company confirmed smoke inside the home and quickly upgraded the situation to a working fire. Firefighters located the source of the blaze in the basement and were able to contain and extinguish it before it spread to the first floor or other parts of the house.

While suppression efforts were underway, crews simultaneously conducted a primary search of the residence, ventilated the structure, and secured the building’s power supply. The incident was managed with a first-alarm response involving 26 firefighters.
