At 6:58am, a full AFD dispatch responded to a condemned Residential structure fire. Upon arrival, units reported heavy smoke coming from the roof.

We fought the fire offensively for 20 min and the IC made the decision to go defensive because of the heavy smoke inside the building.

A search was made of the structure and found to be empty.

Heavy smoke and fire damage to the roof, heavy smoke damage throughout the house.

Currently no injuries to fire fighters. Fire Investigators are on scene to investigate the origin and cause of the fire.
