(Added: Photo of fire’s aftermath)
A fire just before 5 am displaced six people from their home in a High Point duplex. SFD got the fire in the 6500 block of 30th SW [vicinity map] under control within a few minutes, and no one was hurt, but the Red Cross had to be called in to help the fire victims. No word yet how the top-floor fire started; SFD is keeping a crew there on “fire watch” for a while in case of flare-ups.
Correction the firefighters were late to the scene and Red Cross was barely helpful.
The Firefighters were not late? Station 37 had an amazing response time followed by Station 32. You are ignorant. First, dispatch actually has to get information which takes minutes, then they tone the units at the station, which mind you, have to wake up and get their bunker gear on then respond… and yet you still call them “late to the scene”, yeah right…
6 people are alive. They made it out of their house. The fire dept. arrived. Put the fire out and neighbors supported the family and each other. The firefighters left unharmed as well. I’ll take the blessings.
And I’ll add that the fire department also kept other houses from catching on fire. The whole development could have went down if it wasn’t winter and the fire department was as slow as incorrectly accused of being. Great job SFD!
Hi, it’s my house that burned down, we lost everything!! We are thankful to be alive, Red Cross help only for the night.
Sorry, comment time is over.
