FreeBird Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Batt 1, 3401 on scene engine 8 reports water supply established. I wonder if someone was cooking something toxic? Sounds like it was a violent fire with most of the destroyed at time of 911 calls. ladder 1 being slowed down to non emergency units in defensive mode with two 1.75 lines on the ground ladder 1 on scene Link to post Share on other sites

rednekkhikkchikk Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Often it's just the nature of the construction of a mobile home, especially older ones that are made of materials that contain volatile chemicals, that they tend to burn fast and hot. Don't know what caused the fire, but I do know they generally don't burn at the same rate as a site-built home. They also tend to sustain a great deal of damage, if they're not totally destroyed for the same reason. Link to post Share on other sites
I'm Floored Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I heard this call initially. When they gave the call out, they said it was fully involved and the walls were gone. That was the first call. So sad. Link to post Share on other sites
FreeBird Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I drove by this site this morning - place was burned down to the ground. Several men were cleaning up. Link to post Share on other sites
