Savannah Fire units responded to Newell Street in West Savannah last night at 12:36am for reports of a structure fire. While responding, PD units arrived on scene and advised of a “fully involved” house fire. Engine 4 was the first suppression unit on location and confirmed a working fire. Personnel deployed a 2.5” hose line and began flowing water from the A-side exterior in an effort to knock down the fire and protect the neighboring home. Engine 3 was next on the scene and stretched an 1.3/4” hose to make an interior attack and shield Rescue 1 who was conducting a primary search. Companies worked with haste and the fire was under control within about ten minutes. No injuries were reported.
