On February 3rd a blaze that started in an attached garage below a split-level home spread up causing extensive damage.

 

At approximately 9:00 PM, Clifton units were sent to 138 Huemmer Terrace for the reported fire. Units traveled the long cul-de-sac to reach the home. Heavy fire was venting from the garage and extending up the “A” side to the living area above. Additional engines were requested. Several lines were stretched to knock down the garage fire and through the front door to the room above. Ladder three accessed the roof. The visible fire in both the garage and the living room above were extinguished quickly. Flames extended to the attic area above and vented from an attic vent. That was also quelled. Heavy smoke continued as overhaul commenced. The fire was able to be placed under control in just over one hour with no injuries reported.
