Passing Motorist Reports Fire


Firefighters received a fire call Tuesday morning, not by a 911 call, but a knock on the Station-13 fire station door on Oatman Road advising them of a possible house fire just one block behind the fire station.  Firefighters arrived and discovered this 2004 Escalade engine and front dash board well involved in fire and threatening the garage it was parked in front of.  Quick action by firefighters and the fact the garage door was closed prevented the fire from spreading too far into the garage.   While investigators have yet to determine the exact cause, the family is thankful that it was reported from a passing motorist who left as quickly as he reported the fire.
