Structure Fire on Pearl

AFD was dispatched to 1205 Pearl Rd SW at 1:04pm. Upon arrival, E-14 units found smoke and flame in the attic space surrounding the fire place.

Units aggressively fought the fire and prevented extension. The fire was extinguished within 20 min and contained to the attic space surrounding the fire place.  The fire was caused by heat from the fireplace that caused structure members to heat-up.

A mother and two kids were in the home and discovered smoke, self-evacuated and called 911. The family will be getting housing assistance for the next couple of days.
