Firefighters battled an intense blaze that tore through a two-story home in the early hours of March 21. Crews from Captain 19 arrived at the scene around 2:28 a.m., where flames were already visible throughout the structure. Due to the fire's rapid progression, responders shifted to a defensive strategy to contain the spread. A tanker task force was called in to bolster water supply operations. The home's only occupant was successfully rescued and escaped without any injuries.
