JCSO Deputies Use Fire Extinguishers to Hold Back House Fire

On August 2, JCSO deputies were the first to arrive at a house fire reported by an alert neighbor. No one was home at the time.

Deputies immediately grabbed their fire extinguishers and knocked down the flames three separate times as the fire repeatedly reignited. Their efforts helped prevent the fire from spreading until firefighters could get water on it.

Foothills Fire & Rescue, Genesee Fire Rescue and Highlands Rescue also responded and brought the fire under control.

We’re grateful to the neighbor who called 911 and to every first responder whose quick action helped protect this home and the surrounding community.

BR959 is back — and already heading out again. Crew returned last night, washed the truck this morning, and a fresh crew is taking it right back down to the Aspen Acres Fire tonight. Proud of everyone involved. District coverage remains solid. 🚒

Sent Brush 959 out early this morning on a 72-hr assignment to the Aspen Acres Fire. These assignments build real experience our crew brings back home — and we only send help when we still have solid coverage here.

Van on fire westbound I-70 around mile marker 255, in between Lookout Mountain and Genesee. The number 2 and 3 lanes are closed, and traffic is backed up about a mile. The fire began to spread, but firefighters were able to contain it. Avoid the area for the next few hours if you can. @GFR_co
