On 10/13/2018 at 6:53 PM Lebanon Fire District responded to a house fire at 1960 South 9 th St. in Lebanon. Upon arrival of the Battalion Chief the home was found to have fire in the structure with smoke and flames visible at the back of the house. Engines and other apparatus from Lebanon responded to the scene but were hampered in their suppression efforts due to multiple propane tanks venting and ammunition that was involved in the fire. After it was safe to enter, crews got a quick knock down on the exterior of the home, working to the inside of the home where the fire was extinguished completely.
It took seven fire apparatus and twenty firefighters to extinguish the blaze. The cause of the fire was a generator used to supply electrical equipment located at the rear of the home. The occupants of the home were alerted to the fire by neighbors that saw the blaze and acted quickly to help the occupants get out. There were no injuries reported.
Albany Fire assisted Lebanon by standing by while Lebanon’s crews were extinguishing the fire.
