On June 2, 2013 at approximately 1:50 a.m., units from the Johnson City Fire Department were dispatched to #3 University Place on a house fire.
The first unit arrived within 5 minutes and reported nothing showing from the outside.
The owner of the house advised that he had seen flames from the rear of the house and had smelled smoke in his bedroom which was located at the adjacent wall.
Fire crews quickly found smoke and a small amount of fire in the attic near where the flames had been seen from the outside by the owner.
The fire was controlled within 10 minutes.
There was minimal damage to the house.
The alert homeowner coupled with quick notification of the fire department made a difference in the amount of damage caused by this fire.
Four engines and two ladder trucks and one command vehicle responded with a total of 17 personnel.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
