Fire 2500 Block Wesley

Fire crews were quick to respond to the report of smoke and flames showing at the rear of a house in the 2500 block of Wesley at 9:00pm on January 1, 2008. Engine 3, the first arriving crew found a couch fully engulfed in flames outside the back of the house. Heat from the burning furniture had shattered the glass roof of a small shelter, and the basement window, causing the house to fill with smoke. Crews quickly put the flames out with a hose line and ventilated the house to clear the remaining smoke. There was no one home at the time of the fire, and it is still under investigation.
