At 7:54 pm we were dispatched to a possible structure fire at 216 Beck Avenue.

When we arrived at the location we found the entire home filled with heavy smoke through out the residence.  We advanced a hose line into the home and with the help of a thermal imaging camera we were able to locate the fire.  The cause was from unattended cooking in the stove.  Only minor damage occurred to the stove and the home was ventilated with positive pressure to remove the smoke.

This home was saved due to a neighbor hearing the smoke detector and calling 911
