Saturday October 10th was a busy day for our department. We responded to several calls for trees down, medical calls and a structure fire with the first call coming out at around 1 A.M. At approximately 9:14 P.M. our department along with NEC, Fullers Crossroads, Honoraville fire departments, Luverne Rescue, Crenshaw County EMA and the CCSO were dispatched to a reported structure fire in the 1500 block of Magnolia Drive by Crenshaw County E-911. Units arrived on scene to find a single story residential structure well involved in fire. Firefighters deployed hand lines and began operations. The fire was controlled shortly after arrival. Departments spent over four hours on scene extinguishing this fire using approximately 12,000 gallons of water in total. Sadly, there was one civilian fatality as a result of this fire. The scene was turned over to the Alabama State Fire Marshals office for investigation. There were no reports of injuries to fire personnel. We would like to thank our department as well as all the other agencies on this scene for a job well done after a long day.
