23 Firefighters Cody Wood and Matt Gore extinguish the remaining portion of a wall
Narrative:
Following five residential structure fires in July, Golden Valley Firefighters started August with a bang, being called for the sixth home fire in the last five weeks. Thursday morning just before 8:00 am, on the way into the office, Assistant Fire Chief Ted Martin spotted a column of thick black smoke rising several hundred feet into the air approximately three miles north of Hwy-68, near Egar Road. Martin reported the structure fire via radio, which was at the southeast corner of Dugas Rd. and Zuni Roads. Firefighters quickly connected to a fire hydrant on the way into the fire, and extinguished what was remaining of the reportedly unoccupied double-wide dwelling. Golden Valley Fire Marshal Randy Osborn is investigating the fire as suspicious because the home was reportedly abandoned and had no power. There were no injuries and the building was totally destroyed. Anyone with information should contact the fire marshal. Golden Valley Fire Officials stated none of the fires appear to be related.
