STRUCTURE FIRE – TULES CREEK LOOP
On August 28 at approximately 11:06 AM CST, McDaniels Fire & Rescue was dispatched to the area of Tules Creek Loop for a reported structure fire.
Due to low daytime manpower, McDaniels Command requested mutual aid from Harned Fire Department, Hardinsburg City Fire Department, and Custer Area Fire Department.
McDaniels’ first-arriving engine and tanker found a single-story modular home with smoke showing from the structure. Command was established, and crews immediately deployed an attack line to begin an interior attack.
The homeowner quickly advised firefighters that animals were still inside. Crews made a quick knockdown of the fire, containing it to a single room, while firefighters initiated a primary search.
Eight dogs were located inside the residence, with six successfully removed and reported to be healthy. 🐕❤️
The fire was contained to one room, and the structure sustained minor damage. Custer Area Fire Department was canceled while en route and returned to their station.
Firefighters remained on scene working through the heat to ensure all hot spots were located and extinguished.
Thankfully, no civilian injuries were reported.
