OVFC firefighters have been busy over the last 24 hours with two separate fires in Orange County. Yesterday afternoon, after returning in service from a working fire in Lake of the Woods, Tanker 23 answered a call for a detached garage on fire threatening a home. Crews from Mine Run Volunteer Fire Company and County of Orange Fire & EMS arrived first and established a defensive firefight which ultimately saved the residence. Earlier this morning, Engine and Tanker 23 answered a call for smoke from a residence. Crews arrived and stretched a line inside a home to find a mattress fire with limited extension. Crews extinguished the fire and completed a primary search where they found 5 cats that had perished from smoke inhalation. There were no civilians injured on either fire. Both fires remain under investigation by County Fire investigation. |
