Engine 26 from Lake Meade arrived on scene within four minutes of dispatch advising of a single-family, one-story, ordinary construction home, with a well involved attached garage. A working fire dispatch was requested immediately, adding additional tankers and engine companies to the assignment.

E26’s crew advanced handlines into the structure to make an effort to stop the extension into the living quarters of the home. The fire  got up in the cockloft and began venting through the roof within ten minutes of the fire departments arrival. The fire eventually extended well into the home and the officer in charge ordered the companies to go to exterior operations.

Heavy smoke and fire conditions met interior companies at the bathroom and kitchen area. At the 42-minute mark, a decision was made to evacuate the building. Crews were later sent back in to open the walls and ceilings while water and foam was used to get in the deep seated areas of fire. The fire was placed under control sometime around 0400. Eleven people were left homeless.
