On July 9, 2010 at 8:07 P.M. Lincoln County Fire Protection District #1 was dispatched to 2579 Trojan Circle for a reported structure fire. On arrival, firefighters found the two-car garage and attic above fully involved with fire. Firefighters attacked the fire with a truck mounted deck gun which flows water at 1,000 gallons per minute. The main fire was knocked down in a matter of just a few seconds.
Two 14 year old boys were home at the time of the fire and escaped unharmed. The boys were watching a movie inside the home when one heard a loud popping sound coming from the garage. The pair went to investigate and found the fire when they opened the garage door from the house.
Firefighters rescued several family pets from heavy smoke conditions in the residence. The family’s dog, snake and bird all appeared to be in good health.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
