On April 26, 2007 at 10:30 PM units from Hughesville Fire and EMS and surrounding companies were alerted to the 15100 block of Deborah Drive for the house fire. Engine 23 responded at dispatch with five personnel and arrived to find a large two story dwelling with heavy fire showing. Crews advanced handlines into the structure and began an interior attack but were pulled out because of detiorating conditions. A majority of the fire was knocked down from the outside and crews were allowed to resume their interior attack. The fire was extinguished and after a lengthy amount of overhaul, units were released. Chief 2A (Thomas) was the incident commander and units cleared at 2:15 AM. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Maryland State Fire Marshal’s Office.
