On May 8, MFRD was dispatched for a report of smoke coming from a residence in the 3000 block of Fendley Avenue in Mobile, Alabama.

Upon arrival, firefighters noted heavy smoke was visible from the eaves of a single-story, brick home. Crews entered the house and extinguished the fire, and checked for any victims inside the residence, but didn’t locate anyone.
