Confirmed in a Facebook post Monday afternoon, MRFD says it responded to a fire report involving a dishwasher. Given the caller's reports, auto aid was requested for a potential structure fire. Units arrived on scene to find a smoke-filled residence.
Crews made entry and located the severely damaged dishwasher, contained to the immediate area. Crews checked for extension and ventilated the home. The scene was cleared at 2:00am.
To continue an already eventful morning, at 2:32am, crews were dispatched to a report of an electrical pole arching and on fire.
Crews arrived to find arching power lines and secured the area until utilities secured the power supply to the line. Crews cleared the scene at 4:06am.
