Have not seen the fire. But fire trucks from multiple stations seem to be responding. Four stations at least it appear to have sent trucks.

Different house than the one a month ago

Yes, I wrote “same block.” Haven’t been able to get to the scene yet so I can’t verify whether the address on the log is accurate – dispatches sometimes start with addresses that are actually where the original call was made from, for example.
