TFD Responds to Structure Fire on Old Bainbridge Road
December 30, 2020
At 3:55 p.m. yesterday, Dec. 29, the Tallahassee Fire Department was dispatched to a structure fire in the 800 block of Old Bainbridge Road. Crews arrived on scene in just over two minutes and reported a single-story home with heavy smoke and fire coming from the front.
Crews began extinguishing the fire and searching the home for occupants. TFD later discovered that one person was home at the time of the fire and escaped before firefighters arrived on scene. Crews extinguished the fire and prevented the complete loss of the home.
To assist, the Tallahassee Police Department closed roads in the area due to fire hoses and apparatus parked in the roadways. The American Red Cross was contacted to assist with one resident. TFD was also assisted on scene by Leon County EMS and crews from the City of Tallahassee Utilities.
There were no reported injuries from the fire, and the cause is still under investigation.
