The Brownburg Fire Territory Public Information officer Ryan Miller provided a press release Saturday afternoon (04/28) in reference to the residence fire at Hartsford Way Friday (04/27) in Brownsburg.
Please lend a hand to Brownsburg Residents in need.
The Fire Marshall worked well into the night, and has conveyed the structure is currently unsafe for him to get in to so he can complete his investigation. The Fire Marshall is still planning on going back later on today Saturday (04/28) to try and learn what he can from the outside of the structure, and once the insurance company has the house shored up then he will be able to get back in to complete his investigation.
Ryan Miller continued “What I can say is that this was a significant fire inside a single family residence that rapidly took over the home. The homeowner was upstairs watching T.V. and was not aware that his house was on fire until his smoke alarms started going off.
By having working smoke alarms, this homeowner was able to have the time needed to get out of his home safely. This goes hand in hand with what fire departments have been saying for years; Ryan stressed — Working smoke alarms save lives.
The house and it’s contents are being considered a total loss. There were no injuries or fatalities reported due to this fire, and there were no pets in the home”. — Ryan Miller, BFT PIO, Press Release.
Nearby neighbors homes also were damaged, the home to the left (east) vinyl siding and insulation melted, the heat from the adjacent fire also knocked out electricity to the home. No one was injured.
The neighbor to the right (west) vinyl siding also melted again, thankfully no one was injured.
Neighbor’s I spoke to are rallying around the homeowner, who many said “He would give you the shirt off his back to help another”.
