On Monday, September 14th, the  Flin Flon Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire at a residence in the South Hudson area.

 

A total of 11 firefighters and 4 Fire Trucks  arrived at the scene.

 

Upon arrival, Command found that all occupants had safely exited the residence. EMS treated one male occupant on scene for smoke inhalation.

 

The residence was heavily filled with thick smoke, making it difficult for crews to immediately locate the source of the fire. Firefighters conducted a primary search of both the main floor and basement, locating the fire in a basement bedroom.

 

A lack of oxygen within the affected area helped prevent the fire from rapidly spreading to the remainder of the structure. Crews extinguished the fire in the bedroom and conducted checks for fire extension into the surrounding walls and the floor above.

 

Crews completed operations on scene and returned to the hall. After completing resets of all trucks and equipment, crews were back in service later that evening.
