On October 23, 2022, at 6:43 a.m., the Tallahassee Fire Department (TFD) was dispatched to a residential structure fire located in the 1200 block of McCaskill Avenue. Initial crews arrived on scene quickly to find the home with heavy fire and smoke showing. They began to extinguish the fire and make an aggressive search for reported occupants still inside. Once the structure was searched it was discovered that no one was inside, and all residents had made it out of the house. Two people were transported by Leon County EMS for smoke inhalation.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. TFD was also assisted on scene by the Tallahassee Police Department and the City of Tallahassee Utilities.
