Fire Investigator Jennifer Hunt has finished her preliminary investigation on the cause of this morning’s blaze. Hunt pointed out that the majority of the fire damage was confined to the southeast corner of the basement. Although the cause of the blaze has been ruled as Undetermined at this time, Hunt doesn’t believe it to be Incendiary in nature.
Heavy smoke was reported by arriving Fire units shortly after 7 AM this morning making the actual location of the fire difficult to find. Although the actual fire damage was confined to a small area, the residence received moderate to severe smoke damage throughout the structure.
Six Stations responded to the blaze and Firefighters were on scene for approximately 2 hours.
