Fire Totals Home




Golden Valley Firefighters responded to a residential structure fire just ½ mile North of Station-11 on Mayer Road at 10:26 PM Tuesday night. First arriving Engine Captain; Dave Cunningham reported a fully involved structure fire. Neighbors initially reported the family may be inside the home.  While crews extinguished the fire, search and rescue teams prepared to search the structure for residents.  Fortunately the homeowner; Ferren Clark and his family were not at home, but arrived as crews were still fighting the fire. The fire was confirmed under control within 30-mintes reported Assistant Chief Thomas O’Donohue. Crews remained on scene for several hours to assure there were no hot spots and to investigate the cause.  Family members stood across the street in disbelief as firefighters worked inside the smoke filled home said Fire Investigator Randy Osborn. In all; 15 firefighters responded including an Engine Company from Kingman Fire.  One firefighter was transported to KRMC for a minor injury. The home is considered a total loss, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
