PUBLIC SAFETY White City house fire snuffed quickly MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 31, 2015 @ 2:00 am Posted Aug. 31, 2015 @ 2:00 am » Social News p bs:newslist StartDate="20121121" EndDate="p bs:datecalc Months="3"" DateSort="1" UseObjects="1" ObjectClass="81" Taxonomywords="2325,665" ExactTaxonomyMatch="1" Image="1" Count="4" --> WHITE CITY — A Sunday night structure fire damaged a White City's home's attic and an additional room, but the house was otherwise spared.  Emergency dispatch logs show personnel responded to a home in the 2000 block of Falcon Street, off Atlantic Avenue, at 7:55 p.m. Crews from Jackson County Fire District No. 3 arrived in scene in about five minutes to see clouds of smoke launching from attic vents.  Capt. Ben Kennedy said Fire District No. 3 firefighters and an additional support crew from Medford Fire-Rescue cut holes in the attic to vent the heat while attacking the flames with water from below. Crews had the fire knocked down in about four minutes and saved the house. Crews packed Falcon Street, which was closed off temporarily, with engines and hoses.  "The fire is pretty much limited to the attic," Kennedy said.  The man and the woman living in the home made it out safely. None of the dozen or so firefighters who responded to the scene were injured.  The fire's cause is still being investigated, but it is possibly electrical in nature, officials said.  — Ryan Pfeil MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 31, 2015 @ 2:00 am » Comment or view comments /* $( document ).ready(function() { // Jquery mobile is trying to style the button and leaving a blank gry button on top of a white button $("#viafouracoms .vf-comment-controls li.vf-right").html(' Submit '); });*/ » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Propel Marketing Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Mobile Site Stay Informed Email newsletter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
