E18 and R18 where immediately assigned to interior operations for a primary search and fire extinguishment. Both E18 and R18 operated on the interior for the duration of the incident which went to two alarms and ultimately destroyed the attached garage of the home. Minor extension was found on the second floor and in the kitchen. One family pet perished in the fire.

The fire is under investigation.
