Firewatch
reported on arrival that heavy smoke
and fire were showing from a one-anda-half-story residence.
After firefighters were informed by
bystanders that occupants were still
inside, crews entered the residence to
conduct a primary search-and-rescue
operation. One occupant was found in
a first-floor living room and a second in
an upstairs bedroom. Both occupants
were evacuated from the home and
transported by ambulance to a local
hospital, where they later succumbed to
their injuries.
Following the evacuation, firefighters
advanced hose lines into the residence
and attacked the fire, which was concentrated in the kitchen. Crews extinguished
the fire without incident and an investigator was called to the scene.
Investigators determined that the
fire originated near the kitchen stove
and extended upwards to overhead
cabinets. The adjacent dining room
sustained extensive heat and smoke

damage, with smoke damage extending
to the living room. Investigators indicated that the fire was believed to be
a cooking-related fire, but did not rule
out another possible cause, pending
additional information.
No other details about the home or
fire damage were available.
VIRGINIA
Elderly man dies in fire in home that
lacked smoke alarms
An elderly male with mobility and
visual impairments died in a house fire
that likely started in the kitchen. The
home did not include smoke alarms.
The fire was reported by a passerby at 5:30 a.m. The fire department
requested a second alarm after dispatch
reported that the passerby was on the
scene and could see an occupant inside
the house but was unable to enter due
to the fire's intensity.
As crews reached the scene, they
found heavy fire showing from the
front, rear, and one side of the single-family dwelling. The 911 caller, who
had remained at the location, informed
crews that the occupant was located
just inside the front door.
Incident command made a circuit
of the residence and observed fire
throughout the interior, also finding
that the main power line had burned
off the house and lay on the ground,
still energized. The side of the house
with the downed power line was made
off limits for all crew activities, pending
isolation of the power source by the
electrical company.
Crews initiated an exterior fire attack
by deploying three hand lines at the
front, rear, and side of the residence. A
rescue team located and removed the
victim, who was already deceased, from
the front of the house.
Crews began to transition to an
internal fire attack, but rapidly changing fire conditions and concern about
the potential for structural collapse
