DryerFire and Venting

State Fire Marshal and ATF Continue

The Monongah Fire Department was alerted fora first-due structure fire. Engine 101 responded and arrived to find nothing apparent from the outside of the structure. Upon making entry into the home, the crew found smoke coming from the first floorof the residence and found a fire in a dryer; crews cut powerto the dryer. To keep damage minimal crews from MFD and Valley Engine 125 used a watercan to extinguish and removed the dryerto the outside. While that was taking place, MFD placed a thermal camera in service checking forextension in walls and dryerpipe vent to the outside. MFD and Valley crew then started venting the structure until all smoke was removed. Thanks to Valley VolunteerFire Department, Farmington VolunteerFire Department and Boothsville VolunteerFire Department.
