Rescue 3 arrived on scene with a 1½ story house with heavy fire showing from the attic. Rescue 3 personnel performed a quick search of the house that proved negative. E-21 secured a water source and launched an aggressive fire attack as Q-22 performed truck operations. The fire was brought under control at 15:57. The fire was ruled accidental in nature, caused by an electrical overload.
