Press Release

Structure Fire Originating in Garage Damages Raytown Home

PIO Assigned: Matt Mace, Fire Marshal   
Follow up Info: Matt Mace 816-737-6034

Date: February 19, 2012 
Location: 7914 Hardy         
Time of the call: 10:30 P.M.      
First Unit on the scene: KCFD Pumper 43
Number of Units: 5
Number of Firefighters: 25       
Injuries: None     
Property Loss/Damage: $45,200
Contents Loss: 2 vehicles in garage
Property Saved: $25,500
Origin and Cause: Under Investigation

Additional information:
KCFD dispatch received a call for a reported structure fire at the residence.  The reason why KCFD received the 911 call instead of the Raytown dispatch center is still being investigated and may be related to the 911 call being made from a cell phone.  KCFD dispatched according to the automatic aid agreement that both departments entered into two years ago.  This means citizens benefit from having the closest fire truck responding regardless of which departments name is on the door.   KCFD pumper 43 arrived at the scene first to find smoke and flames emanating from the garage.  Three occupants had safely exited the structure and were found at their predetermined meeting place in the front yard.   Both Raytown and KCFD crews utilized two 1¾” attack lines to bring the fire under control, and managed to rescue the family dog from the structure unharmed.

After the investigation was completed the structure was turned over to the occupants.
