在大约两天的时间在劳动节周末,杰斐逊县的11 - 三个无关的火灾摧毁了路易斯维尔,艾哈维尔和斯塔普顿的家园。
在Avera.
An Avera area man was arrested early Sunday morning, Sept. 5, while his family’s mobile home burned nearby.
Avera Fire Chief Jason Mathis said that a call came in around 1:02 a.m. reporting a structure fire at 4133 Gamble Mill Road and his department was on the scene within 8 minutes. The property is about 5 miles outside of the city of Avera.
“When we arrived there was fire from end to end of the trailer, it was fully engulfed,” Mathis said. “The roof had already collapsed, which told us it had been burning prior to us getting there. The back porch had already completely detached from the house. The only thing standing was the carport and the front wall of the front of the house.”
消防员发现照片,一些衣服和地上的其他物品围绕着迹象,似乎已经从家里扔出去。
“我已经看到了很多移动房屋赶上火,我从未见过那样的燃烧,”消防队长说。“这太热了。”
Responding were departments from Avera, Hillcrest and Wrens.
“We heard that one of the owners might have been home and so we went into search and rescue mode thinking he might be inside,” Mathis said. “We later found out he was in a shed down below the house, and that’s when the sheriff’s office had to get involved.”
A representative for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office identified that owner as 58-year-old Randy Gene Holt. He has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. A state fire marshal’s representative has also charged Holt with criminal damage to property in the second degree.
Stapleton
Later that same day, firefighters from Stapleton, Wrens and Avera responded to a fully-engaged structure fire at 5380 W. Able Street in Stapleton.
Stapleton Fire Chief Clayton Parrish said the call came in at 10:49 p.m. and responders were on the scene within 5 minutes.
The wood-framed older home was completely engaged when fire fighters arrived and all occupants had left the building, Parrish said.
紧急responders remained on the scene until nearly 2:30 a.m. Monday morning. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, Parrish said.
Louisville
Louisville and Hillcrest firefighters responded to a house fire Monday, Sept. 6, just before noon.
Louisville Fire Chief James Davis said that the call to 1064 Washington Street came in at 11:41 a.m. and engines were on the scene 3 minutes later.
“It was fully involved when we got there,” Davis said. “There was fire pretty much all over the house.”
The cement block home was completely gutted and the cause of the fire is currently unknown, he said.
戴维斯推荐戴维斯建议房主在照明火灾之前肯定会清洁烟囱,以保持温暖,如果燃烧的叶子和院子里的碎片,他建议房主耙离开桩,围绕潜在的烧伤场地润湿地面。
