“We’re leaving a handline down now, and we’re going to put some over that. But yeah, it’s cool smoke, and some of it is because everything has a lot of hot metal when you have the cars going, you have a lot of that hot metal,” Fairborn Fire Department Chief Ryan Williams said.
A total of six fire departments responded to the fire on Herr Road.
A large response was needed because the area doesn’t have fire hydrants.
“So we’re have to bring our water with us, which is what we’re set up to do. Again, we bolster our response so that as soon as we say that there’s active claims that are important, we upgrade the response and we bring lots of tankers,” Williams said.
The family inside that house when the fire happened was able to get out safely.
No one was injured during this fire.
News Center 7 is working to learn what caused this fire.
