Multiple fire departments deal with a tricky house fire in Coffeyville.
Yesterday, the Coffeyville Fire Department along with Coffeyville Resources, Dearing and South Coffeyville Fire Departments battled a two-story structure fire at 510 West 2nd Street. Firefighters were met with several challenges while fighting this fire. The home had several attic spaces that were difficult to get to due to the intense heat, smoke and material used in the flooring. The weather conditions also hindered efforts in cutting holes in the metal roof to ventilate the gases and high heat.
Three firefighters sustained non-serious injuries while fighting the fire. Residents of the home were able to get out safely with no injuries. The cause of the fire was determined to be overheating of the electrical heater that was being used in the home.
