dispatched Point Pleasant FD with mutual aid from Ridge-Culver and St.
Paul Blvd Fire Departments for a report of a house on fire on Peart Ave. Initial
report was of an attic fire, and occupants were getting out.
Command went on location with flames from the roof, confirmed a working fire, and requested Sea Breeze
Fire Department as the FAST

into action inside the house, and a 2-1/2 inch master stream on standby
for an exterior attack. The cause is being investigated by the
Monroe County Fire Bureau, and is being traced to the electrical wiring
in the 2nd floor and an air conditioner unit. Here's a news
