Our members from Station 58 (Timberlea) arrived within minutes to find a home with heavy fire throughout multiple floors, with the fire beginning to spread to two neighbouring properties.
Crews quickly deployed hose lines to protect both neighbouring homes while additional members arrived and worked to bring the main fire under control. Thanks to the quick response and actions of the initial crews, the fire was stopped from spreading further, preventing two additional homes from being lost.
Unfortunately, due to the extent of the fire upon arrival, the original home suffered extensive damage.
This incident is another reminder of why response times matter. Having fire fighters in fire stations, ready to respond, means crews can arrive quickly and begin protecting lives and property when every second counts.
