Peach Street Residential Fire

At approximately 6:18 AM, Mobile Fire-Rescue Department companies were dispatched to the 500 block of Peach Street, near the intersection of Peach Street and Pecan Street. People in the area called 911 and reported smoke and flames present in a vacant home.

Upon arrival on scene, Engine 14 described a “fully-involved” single-story, wood-framed residence. Fire suppression teams extended several hose lines and battled the blaze for approximately 55 minutes.

Flames were present throughout the structure. Crews provided supplemental suppression to an adjacent home, as radiating heat was damaging the neighboring structure.

The structure was confirmed vacant and unoccupied during the incident. No civilians or firefighters were injured.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, as Cause of Origin Investigators comb the scene and review pertinent details of the event.
