TUE MAR 04
SUBMITTED BY CHARLOTTE FIRE DEPARTMENT
CHARLOTTE - The first of many calls to Fire
911 were received reporting a brush fire that had reached a
nearby home on Marie Roget Way. Responding Charlotte Firefighters
reported heavy smoke conditions visible from approximately a mile
away. Over 75 firefighters along with Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Police, Medic, and a representative from the NC Forestry Service
worked on scene.
This brush fire resulted in significant damage to two homes and
minor damage to ten other homes in this neighborhood just off of
Rea Road in South Charlotte. One female was treated by Medic for
non-life threatening injuries and the incident was marked under
control in just under one hour.
The Charlotte Fire Investigation Task Force responded and ruled
the cause of this fire to be accidental. Fire Investigators
determined the cause was due to discarded smoking materials in
shrubs outside a home on Marie Roget Way.
