Wind Ridge House Fire

AFD was dispatched to 1619 Wind Ridge Dr NW at 3:58am this morning to a fully involved three bay garage fire. Crews arrived minutes later to find heavy smoke and flame coming from the garage that extended to the second floor. The two occupants were sleeping at the time of the fire, were alerted by their smoke detectors, self evacuated, and called 911. The working smoke detection system potentially saved their lives. 

 

Crews fought the fire from the outside and once they got a handle on the fire, they entered the home to prevent further fire extension. No injuries were reported. The damage is estimated at $100,000. The cause and origin of the fire is under investigation by AFD.
