Later in the morning, at approximately 7:18 a.m., TFD was dispatched to a second structure fire, this time located on Hickory Woods Trail. Firefighters arrived to find a single-story residence with fire coming from the garage.

TFD urges all residents to remain vigilant and proactive in fire prevention measures, including the installation of smoke alarms. Remember to check your smoke alarms to make sure they are in proper working condition, as smoke alarms can provide the early warning necessary to escape a deadly fire.
