Saturday evening at 5:25 p.m., Golden Valley Firefighters responded to a reported Commercial Structure fire at 2551 Oatman Road. Motorists traveling on Hwy-40 just north of Shinarump Road called 911 and reported flames showing from the single story office type building. Assistant Chief Ted Martin reports that fire crews arrived within minutes and reported a fully involved structure fire and that propane tanks were venting, causing the fire to grow rapidly. Crews arrived and immediately extinguished the fire and cooled the adjacent propane tanks. A search of the building, which was occupied at the time of the fire, revealed the occupant had left the building and was safe at another location on the property. Firefighters kept the fire from spreading to other vehicle and boats stored nearby, however the structure and content were a total loss. A total of 12 firefighters responded to the blaze and there were no injuries. The Golden Valley Fire Marshal is currently investigating the cause of the fire.
