At 5:26am ARES was paged to a structure fire in Altona. When crews arrived on scene we found the fire had made its was from an exterior wall into attic. Crews were able to extinguish the fire.

While on this scene we were paged to another address for reports of a commercial alarm. Upon investigation it was determined that a water leak caused the sensor to go off.

The responding crew was able to quickly rejoin the others at the original scene.
