At approximately 4:30 am on March 7th, 2023 Engine 311, Engine 321, Brush 353, Battalion 3, Ladder 234 and Battalion 2 were dispatched to the 2800 block of Neal Ave for the report of a structure fire. Upon arrival, E311 was met with a large amount of fire pushing through the right side of the home. During the initial push to enter the residence, crews were met with a heavy interior fuel load and a large amount of fire. Crews notified command, who in turn, made the decision to move tactics to a defensive operation. Fire crews were able to protect all surrounding structures, but sadly the residence is a total lose. There were no injuries to the homeowner or his dog. The homeowner is working with the red cross. No injuries to the fire personnel to report.

Thank you to City of Kingman Fire Department, MCSO, and River Medical for your continued partnerships.
