AFD Prevents House Fire

AFD units were dispatched to the 1400 block of Glorieta St NE at 6:36am to a motor home fire behind the home.

The 24' 1970's motor home was completely engulfed in flames when units arrived.  All four occupants were safety evacuated by AFD with no injuries.

Units extinguished the fire within 6 min and prevented fire extension to the home and a small apartment nearby.  

During the firefighting effort, a firefighter was injured and was transported to Presbyterian by AFD Rescue 8. He is currently being evaluated and is doing well.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by AFD.
