Manteca Firefighters Combat Blaze in Scorching Hot Temperature


Fire crews arrived on the scene of a Modular Home well involved with fire. Additionally, the adjacent residence was beginning to ignite. Firefighters aggressively extinguished the fires while simultaneously provided for salvage to protect the contents of the residence. They were successful in preventing the fire from extending into other residences and prevented further fire extension within the home. All occupants made it out of the building safely as a result of working smoke detectors. They also heard a loud explosion.

Emergency Callback procedures were initiated and off-duty Firefighters came in from home as well as several Reserve Firefighters. Reserve Firefighters helped at the scene while off-duty Firefighters staffed the stations and responded to several other simultaneous emergencies within the City. Firefighters remained on scene for four hours performing salvage, overhaul, and fire investigation.

The Occupants did a nice job getting out of the residence, going to a safe meeting place, and notifying arriving firefighters that everyone was safely out of the house.
