SWFD dispatched to a house fire on Friday, July 25th just after 2pm. Extremely high temps -95 degrees with heat index at 102 degrees. Limited water supply. Fire Chief Kevin Cooney arrived first and found cars in yard, no one outside. Made entry from opposite of home for a search but was forced back due to volume of fire throughout first floor. Very stubborn fire with limited interior access due to hording conditions and large fire load.
