March 14, 2024

On March 13, at 6:53 p.m., the Tallahassee Fire Department (TFD) was dispatched to a structure fire located in the area of Otis Wallace Lane and Blountstown Highway. First arriving units reported heavy fire involving a two-story residential structure. TFD crews immediately pulled hose lines and began to extinguish the fire. Blountstown Highway was closed to through traffic by the Leon County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) due to the TFD needing to lay hose lines from a fire hydrant. TFD crews were on scene for several hours extinguishing the fire. There were no reported injuries on scene and the home is considered a complete loss. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. The State Fire Marshal's office was called to the scene for further investigation.

TFD was assisted on scene by LCSO, the Florida Highway Patrol, Leon County EMS and Talquin Electric Cooperative.
