On May 25, at 4:09 p.m., the Tallahassee Fire Department (TFD) was dispatched to a residential structure fire located on Fort Braden Lane. The first TFD unit to arrive on scene reported smoke showing from home. TFD crews quickly entered the home and extinguished the fire. A search of the residence revealed no one was home at the time of the incident. The fire appears to have started in the kitchen area but is believed to be electrical in nature. The quick actions of TFD prevented the loss of the home. There were no reported injuries on scene.

TFD was assisted on scene by the Lake Talquin Volunteer Fire Department, Leon County EMS and the Leon County Sheriff's Office. The Red Cross was contacted to assist the resident.

Remember to check your smoke alarms to make sure they are in proper working condition, as smoke alarms can provide the early warning necessary to escape a deadly fire. A properly installed and maintained smoke alarm can alert you and your family to a fire 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Get more fire prevention information from TFD at Talgov.com/Fire.
