Four Engine companies, two Truck companies, two Command Units and a Rehabilitation Unit for a total of nineteen personnel were dispatched. Entry into #8 was forced and a quick search revealed no one was at home. Two 200’ pre-connected 1.75” attack lines were deployed upon arrival for fire attack. Engines and Trucks were placed in the front and rear of the structure for fire containment. Initial control of the fire took approximately 10 minutes. Over haul of the scene or the search for fire extensions revealed a void or utilities chase that extended to the attic area. The fire started in the kitchen area. The fire was able to extend to the attic by way of the utility chase. The property damage was minimized and contained to three units because of an aggressive attack by fire personnel.  Two units received minor smoke and water damage while one unit received heavy fire and water damage. Occupants of #7 and #9 were evacuated unit fire was extinguished. No one was at home at #8 at the time of the fire. 

 

Discarded smoking material in garbage can has been determined as the cause of the fire.

FW: House Fire 107 Tangancy Drive

 

 

From: Daniels, Elie
Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 10:03 AM
To: 'Johnson City Fire Dept. News'
Subject: House Fire 107 Tangancy Drive

 

On November 02, 2011 the Johnson City Fire Department, Engines 6, 5, 8, Trucks 1 and 3, responded to a house fire at 107 Tangency Drive at approximately 9:00 pm. The owner/resident advised 9-1-1 dispatch that there was a faint smell of smoke coming from the attic of the home. Units arrived on scene (within 3 minutes) to find nothing showing from the exterior of the house but could smell the odor of smoke. Shelving was removed to gain access into the attic through a small opening in a bedroom closet. A TIC (Thermal Imaging Camera) was deployed and a small fire was found smoldering under the insulation in the kitchen area of the attic around the ceiling light. The fire cause was determined to be an electrical short in wiring connected to the ceiling light over the dining area of the kitchen. Truck Company personnel deployed salvage covers to protect the contents of the home and then removed insulation and pulled the ceiling from around the fire area to check for extension. No fire extension was found. The electrical wiring was pulled back, secured and power was cut to the specific wires to keep from cutting power to the entire house. Damage to the home and inconvenience of the occupants was kept to a minimum. The home was turned over to the owner and occupants. All units cleared the scene.
