20200929 - Unincorporated Mount Juliet - House Fire
611 Terrace Hill Road - Just after 12:15 AM, Wilson County firefighters and Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to a report of a house fire with flames visible through the roof.
First to arrive on scene was a Sheriff's Deputy that reported a single-wide trailer well involved, and that he had the occupant with him in the front yard. He also reported seeing a large fireball erupt from the structure, presumably from the occupant's home oxygen therapy supplies.
The first arriving Wilson EMA units were Engine-3 & Medic-3 (C Shift) under the command of Captain Steve Fox [801]. Captain Fox advised he had two single-wide trailers side-by side with one of them approximately 50% involved. After completing a 360º survey of the scene, crews mounted a transitional attack, knocking down the fire from the outside and waiting for additional apparatus to arrive.
Additional responding units included Engine-6, Engine-4, Tanker-9, Rehab-23, and Shift Commander Eric Clinard [800].
Medic-3's crew, who was on scene in the capacity of firefighters, were requested by the deputy to assess the homeowner. Medics found multiple small burns to the mans clothing and skin, and he now had no oxygen supply. It was determined that he would need to be transported to the hospital and Medic-4 was dispatched to the scene.
Once Engine-6 & Engine-4 arrived on the scene, a second 1.75 inch handline was pulled and crews transitioned to an interior attack. Fortunately, the nearest hydrant was located at the base of the driveway and a viable water supply was quickly established.
Captain Fox placed the fire under control at about the 45 minute mark, and all crews were clear of the scene by the 2-hour mark.
The cause and origin of the fire is under investigation by the Wilson County Emergency Management Agency. There were no additional injuries to firefighters or civilians resulting from this fire.
