SODDY DAISY FIREFIGHTERS BATTLE A FULLY INVOLVED
STRUCTURE FIRE
Sunday, November 27,2005 - 2:00 am -
City of Soddy Daisy Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a possible
structure fire on Dayton Pike near Burns Road. When the first fire engine
arrived on the scene they reported a heavily involved structure with
multiple exposures and live power line down next to the fire.
Within minutes a second fire truck
arrived on the scene and established a water supply from a fire hydrant.
Several fire crews immediately started attacking the blaze with inch and
three quarter hose lines. Fire crews were able to knock the blaze down in
short order, unfortunately the damage was already done.
The garage and all three vehicles in it
had been totally destroyed. Luckily firefighters were able to knock down the
flames that had spread to the nearby house before any structural damage was
done. Although the siding and some cosmetic damage had been sustained by the
house, the interior was unharmed.
Fire officials are still investigating
the cause of the early morning blaze. The garage was considered a total
loss. Dayton Pike was closed for several hours while firefighters worked in
the area. No injuries were reported.
