Yesterday evening, at 5:27pm Hickory Firefighters from Station 2, Engine 2 were dispatched to assist Saint Stephens Fire Department with a room and contents fire on the 700 block of 32nd Street NE. Units arrived on scene to find fire showing from the rear of the home. The fire was quickly contained to the laundry room and extinguished. No injuries were reported. Units operated for approximately 45 minutes before returning to service

FIRE SAFTEY FACT:
This fire was contained to a single room by quick thinking of one of the responders by closing the door, isolating the heat and smoke to only the involved room and not allowing it to spread to the rest of the home. The same principle works to protect you and your loved ones in the event of a fire at night to keep heat and products of combustion out of your bedroom.

Remember: Close Before You Doze
