Structure Fire - 05/19/12 - San Juan County, NM

On May 19th, 2012 San Juan County Fire District #9 (Sullivan Road) firefighters were notified about a structure fire at 400 County Road 4990. The alarm came in at 15:58 hours, and units were advised that a San Juan County Sheriff’s Deputy was on scene and had smoke showing from an unoccupied home. Automatic Aid apparatus also responded from Bloomfield Fire Department and San Juan County Fire District #6 (Lee Acres).

Sullivan Road firefighters initiated an interior fire attack in the one-story single family dwelling. As addition units arrived they established a water supply and backed-up the initial attack efforts. These actions resulted in the fire being controlled shortly after companies had arrived on-scene. After the fire was overhauled the origin and cause investigation was conducted by the SJCFD Fire Investigation Task Force.
