Vacant House Burns Again

Saturday, May 17th, around 4:25PM, passerby called 9-1-1 to report a house on fire behind where the greenhouses used to be located on the east side of Muldoon where Debarr intersects.  The caller reported flames and smoke coming from the roof of the house.

Eleven units were immediately dispatched and the first unit arrived on location approximately four minutes later reporting flames and smoke coming from the rear of the residence.  The fire was called under control approximately 30 minutes after the initial call.

This premise was vacant as it had experienced a previous structure fire several months ago and there was a concern for firefighter safety as the integrity of the structure might have been compromised in the previous fire.

The structure suffered considerable amount of damage and is considered a total loss.  The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
