Joaquin VFD Responds to House Fire

Shortly after 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 7th, the Joaquin Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a double-wide mobile home fire on U.S. Highway 84 East. Units arrived to find smoke billowing from the structure. Homeowner Jackie Williams stated that his family was awakened by smoke detectors going off. The JVFD deployed two two-man hose teams into the structure, wearing full bunker gear and SCBA. After a brief search, the fire was located in a bedroom on the west end of the house. Firefighters were able to knock the fire down using less than 15 gallons of water, keeping water damage to a minimum. The fire was contained to the single room, with smoke damage to the rest of the home. A positive pressure fan was used to remove smoke from the house. After removing all of the contents of the fire room, firefighters returned to the fire station at 12:35 a.m.
