Crews Cut Through Structural Addition Joint to Halt Working Fire in Pooler

Pooler, GA - Firefighters from Pooler Fire-Rescue extinguished a concealed residential structure fire along Old Quacco Road after uncovering flames burning within the void spaces between a manufactured home and a structural addition.

Emergency communications dispatched Pooler Fire-Rescue companies on Saturday, October 17, 2026, following reports of a structure fire in the 1700 block of Old Quacco Road.

First-arriving Engine 603 and Battalion 601 initially observed no outward fire conditions at the single-story manufactured home and attached additions. However, during a thorough exterior and interior size-up, crews detected light smoke and located active fire spreading inside the void spaces between the walls, ceiling, and roofline near the rear right (Charlie/Delta) corner of the residence.

Command immediately upgraded the incident to a working fire. Personnel from Truck 601 and Engine 601 forced access into the concealed structural joint where the original trailer met the addition—an area that presented significant physical barriers to suppression—while Truck 602 and Engine 604 provided critical fireground manpower and support.

Through coordinated opening-up operations and targeted handline application, firefighters knocked down the main body of fire and completed extensive overhaul to ensure no embers remained hidden in the framing. No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Pooler Fire-Rescue resources operating on scene included Engines 603, 601, and 604, Trucks 601 and 602, Water Tender 601, Battalion 601, and Chiefs 601 and 603.
