Cooking fires are one of the leading causes of residential fires. Don’t forget to check the stove before you leave!

It’s also smart to keep an ABC extinguisher in your kitchen, and be prepared to cover burning grease with a pan - never use water!

A more serious fire was avoided tonight when homeowners in our district came home to find smoke from the rear of their detached garage. They used a dry-chemical extinguisher on an incipient fire in an outside, covered storage bin with a hole burnt through the top.

Scranton 9 (Chief) and 9-2 (Second Assistant Chief) arrived and using a thermal imaging camera and hand tools dismantled the powder-covered material. Stacked bags of peat moss were found to contain a concentrated area of heat at or near ignition temperature, with no other apparent source of ignition. The crew from Scranton Engine 1 used the garden hose to thoroughly soak the heated material and separate it from other combustibles.

It appeared the peat moss, kept through the summer in a hot, mostly unventilated storage bin, underwent auto ignition. In other words, the fire started itself. Fortunately the couple residing at the house had returned at the perfect time to discover the fire without it growing beyond the storage unit, and there was no damage to the garage or other nearby property.

We’re volunteers. If you have an interest in serving your community as a volunteer firefighter, reach out to us! We’ll give you the tools and training to make a difference.
