A Busy Night for Central Firefighters

From the Central Fire Department
    Central firefighters were dispatched to the 13000 block of Brown Rd. Monday night, June 30, 2014 at approximately 10:43 pm for a reported shed fire.  On arrival firefighters found the home owner attempting to extinguish the fire after moving his undamaged motor home from the shed. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire limiting the damage to a portion of the shed which was located to the rear of the main residence.
     Initially the homeowners suspected a prowler when they heard unusual noises. As the home owner exited his residence, he discovered the noise was actually caused by the fire consuming the portion of the shed next to where his motor home was parked.  The fire caused approximately $13,000.00 damage and an electrical malfunction is believed to be the cause of the fire.
     District Six and Baker Fire Departments assisted at the Brown Rd. fire scene.
     Five minutes after Central Fire fighters left the Brown Rd. fire they were dispatched to the 10000 block of Hooper Rd. for a two vehicle motor vehicle collision.  This accident sent two occupants of one vehicle to the hospital with minor injuries and Central firefighters cleared the scene within approximately 30 minutes. 
     Shortly before 2:00 am Tuesday morning Central firefighters responded to the 9000 block of Santa Monica for a vehicle fire under a carport.  Firefighters arrived on scene and found the residents of the home extinguishing an engine compartment fire in a vehicle parked in the driveway next to the carport.  Firefighters recognized the vehicle as one of the vehicles involved in the earlier collision on Hooper Rd.  The fire was extinguished with no damage to the home.  Unfortunately between the damage caused by the collision and the fire, the vehicle was a total loss.
