Long Run Fire Chief Sara Johnson gives direction to crews trying to extinguish a small fire under a stoop in Glasgow last Friday.
A small fire ignited May 31 just after noon when a cigarette fell between the front steps and the house. The burning butt then ignited straw that was packed in under the steps and smoldered until fire crews arrived to extinguish the dry, smoldering fuel.
According to Chief of the Glasgow Fire Department, Brandon Brunelle, the blaze was put out within 10 minutes of crews being on scene. Fourteen firefighters and four units from both GFD and Long Run Fire responded along with assistance from the Glasgow Police Department, Valley County Sheriff's Office and the Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital ambulance.
There were no injuries and only slight damage to the house occurred, according to Brunelle.
