Per DFD Media Release
A fire in a vacant dwelling at 122 Aye St. early Saturday morning resulted in a total loss of the structure.
The Danville Fire Department received the call at 3:50 AM and responded with units from Industrial Ave., Bridge St., and Airport Dr. In all, three engines, one aerial truck, and two Battalion Chiefs responded with a total of 16 personnel.
Engine 3 arrived on scene at 3:56 AM and reported a working fire in a small one story house. The initial Incident Commander indicated that the entire structure was involved in fire and that personnel would be operating in a defensive strategy and would attack the fire from the exterior and not enter the building. Ladder 1 was set up and directed a large stream of water onto the fire to bring it under control. Engine company crews then used smaller volume hand-lines to completely extinguish the remaining fire. Personnel conducted searches to determine if anyone was in the structure. No one was found.
The house was completely destroyed with just one wall and part of the roof remaining. The cause and origin of the fire are still under investigation by the Danville Fire Department Fire Marshal’s Office. Information from the investigation will be released when it becomes available. There were no injuries.
Units from the Danville Life Saving Crew, the Danville Police Department, and the Danville Electric Department provided support and assistance at the scene.
Firefighters remained on scene for 3 hours and 4 minutes.
