JFRD responded to a two story abandoned house with heavy smoke showing upon arrival. This home was known to be abandoned and posed some problems for crews working. First and foremost, it was known that there were holes in the floor on the second story...and while the home still needed to be searched for occupants, access to the second story was extremely dangerous...also the stairs were in bad disrepair, access to the second story had to be made from the roof.

This home was also split up, possibly set up as apartments at one point, but the flow of the house was not normal. Finally, this was an older home...balloon frame construction provided for void spots and chases for smoke and fire to travel and avoid extinguishment.

No injuries were reported from this fire and the cause was attributed to misuse of lighting materials.
