Last night Tower 12 and Rescue Squad 12 responded to the 7100 Block of Jacks Court in Mt. Airy for a reported electrical fire in a house. Chief 1 (Stull) arrived on the scene to find a single story wood frame rancher with smoke showing and advised that all occupants were out of the house.

Crews from Mt. Airy were able to locate the fire in the basement of the house. Tower 12's crew upon arrival assisted with roof operations and ventilation. Rescue Squad 12 arrived and assisted with ventilating the house.

Crews operated on the scene for about two hours before returning.
