|
WENGNews writes, "CHARLOTTE FIRE AND EMS RESPONDED TO A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE FIRE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT A HOME ON TAYLOR ROAD IN PUNTA GORDA. WHEN THEY ARRIVED JUST AFTER 1:20PM, THE FOUND A SINGLE STORY, WOOD FRAMED STRUCTURE WITH THE GARAGE FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FIREFIGHTERS WERE TOLD AT FIRST THAT SOMEONE MAY HAVE BEEN INSIDE, BUT WERE LATER TOLD THAT THE HOME WAS EMPTY. WITH THE HELP OF A LADDER TRUCK FROM THE PUNTA GORDA FIRE DEPARTMENT, CREWS KNOCKED THE FIRE DOWN IN TEN MINUTES. A DOG WAS INJURED IN THE BLAZE, AND ANIMAL CONTROL WAS CALLED IN TO HELP. THE GARAGE AREA SUSTAINED HEAVY FIRE AND SMOKE DAMAGE, WHILE A UTILITY AREA BETWEEN THE GARAGE AND LIVING AREA HAD SOME SMOKE AND FIRE DAMAGE. THE LIVING AREA SUSTAINED HEAVY SMOKE DAMAGE AS WELL, BUT NO DOLLAR AMOUNT WAS ESTIMATED. THE RED CROSS WAS ON SCENE TO ASSIST THE RESIDENTS OF THE HOME, AND THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL IS INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE."
