crews made quick work of the fire that was
still contained to the appliance and began to open up to get the smoke
out of the house. The exterior crews controlled the gas and set up water
supply as well as placing a PPV fan in service. Crews
removed the unit from the house and cleaned up some of the mess.
No one was injured and there was moderate damage to the house
due to smoke. All units were returned to service by 17:48.
