According to MCFRS, units arrived to find fire through the roof of a home that was under renovation. Firefighters deployed handlines and conducted an aggressive attack, bringing the fire under control.
A Rapid Intervention Dispatch was requested to support operations at the scene. MCFRS later reported that the fire had been extinguished, crews had completed overhaul, and units were beginning to scale back.
