Early this morning, the Chatham County Fire Department was called to contend with a blaze on Beverly Street. At precisely 10:05am, firefighters from CCFD rushed to the scene in the 5000 block where smoke and flames had overtaken a structure. The emergency call mobilized Battalion Chief 301, Safety Officer 301, Squad 313, Truck 302, Truck 307, and Water Tender 303, as they worked to subdue the unwelcome inferno, according to a social media post from the Chatham County Fire Department.
Visible smoke and flames greeted the firefighters upon arrival, quickly prompting a response that saw crews battling the fire, while also conducting a search inside the building and preventing the spread to surrounding areas. Having mitigated the immediate danger, the CCFD reported that their efforts were successful, and no injuries were sustained during the incident. This outcome is a testament, albeit a misplaced one, to the firefighters’ dedication and the swift action that was taken early morning.
The fire incident did not, miraculously, leave any individuals harmed. The official statement from CCFD, issued via their social media channels, highlights the efficiency and prowess of the involved teams. It read: “Arriving units encountered visible smoke and flames. Crews began fire suppression, search and mitigated spread.”…
