Last night at approximately 11:30 p.m., the Fairfield Fire Department was dispatched to a residence for a reported smoke condition from an unknown source.

Upon arrival, Fairfield crews investigated and located a fire within the home’s crawlspace. Firefighters quickly stretched a handline, located the seat of the fire, and began suppression efforts.

Additional Fairfield apparatus and mutual aid companies arrived shortly thereafter to assist with checking for extension and conducting overhaul operations. Thanks to the quick actions of responding crews, the fire was contained before it could spread further throughout the structure.

We thank our members and mutual aid partners for their swift response and continued dedication to protecting our community.
