Dryer Fire Causes Heavy Smoke Damage
By JJohnson | April 5, 2009
On the morning of April 3rd, 2009 at 9:56am, Long Beach Fire Department units were dispatched to the 2100 block of Lomina Ave. for reports of a structure fire. The first arriving Engine Co. gave a size up of the fire as a single story, single family dwelling with heavy smoke showing.
The fire apparently started in a clothes dryer and quickly spread to other contents of the bedroom. The thick smoke made finding the seat of the fire difficult, but with an aggressive search, units found the fire and confined it to one room. There was significant smoke damage throughout the house.
Thankfully, there was no one home at the time, however the owner arrived shortly after the fire had been extinguished. There were no injuries to neither civilians or firefighters. Public works were called out and provided the “board-up” for the dwelling and utility companies secured the gas and electric utilities.
Total units on scene: E14, T14, R14, E17, E22, BC2
