No injuries have been reported after Sheridan Fire-Rescue crews put out a garage on the northeast side of the city.
At around 1:18am Sunday (June 26th), Sheridan Fire-Rescue (SFR) and Sheridan Police Department (SPD) responded to 509 KROE Lane, for the report of a fire in a residential structure.
SFR Engine 1 (E-1) arrived on scene at 01:20 finding a single story two-family home with a moderate amount of fire and smoke showing from the attached garage.
E-1’s crew deployed a preconnected handline to initiate fire attack, gaining rapid knockdown and control by 01:28.
E-1 crew transitioned inside the residence for primary search to confirm all occupants were out of the home, with confirmation everyone had safely evacuated the residence.
SPD officers assisted the fire crew with confirming all residents were out of the home and providing traffic control.
Rocky Mountain Ambulance responded to standby for civilian and firefighter safety.
Goose Valley Fire Department and SFR off-duty crews responded to provide additional personnel.
Montana Dakota Utilities sent a technician to the scene to isolate natural gas and electric utilities.
The fire was contained to the garage, but a moderate amount of smoke did migrate inside the residence.
Ventilation was established and the occupant area was systematically cleared of smoke.
The fire area was overhauled to remove all residual smoke, heat, and eliminate any potential for the fire to rekindle.
The scene was turned over to SFR Origin and Cause Investigators and is currently under investigation.
The occupants were able to return to the residence and no civilians, pets, or emergency personnel were injured during this fire.
SFR continues to stress the importance of having working smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms inside this residence alerted the occupants to the fire, thus resulting in no injuries and minimal damages.
