Firefighters Spend The 4th Battling House Fire
Posted
On: Jul 04, 2010 (17:22:58)
Westport Firefighters fought a house fire this Fourth of July on Drift Rd. The fire was reported around 0900. First arriving firefighters found heavy smoke pouring from the eves of the one story home. Firefighters made entry into the home and found heavy fire in the kitchen area extending into the attic space. Firefighters began to conduct a primary search to find any victims. Firefighters with the aid of a thermal image camera found a female semi-concious in her bedroom. The interior of the home, including the bedroom the victim was found in was full of smoke resulting in zero visibilty, the female was disoriented and with the help of firefighters was removed from the building to safety. The victim was extremely fortunate, as minutes later the home quickly became well involved with fire. The roof eventually collapsed into the home. Westport was aided by firefighters from Tiverton and Dartmouth. The home was a total loss. The female was transported to an area hospital and was in stable condition. Firefighters were on the scene for most of the day.
