General Incident Description:

At 7:07 am Wellington Fire was dispatched to a reported residential structure fire at 7902 4th St. Engine 91 arrived at 7:10 am and reported a working fire from a small single-family home. Initial walk-around revealed the fire to be in the garage and possibly the attic space. Engine 91 crew began an offensive attack with search and immediately found and removed a resident inside the front door. Engine 92 arrived to get a knockdown of the bulk of the fire in the garage. Primary search was completed with no further victims found. PFA Engine 12 assisted with fire control. PFA Engine 6 conducted a roof assessment and prepared for ventilation. Infrared drone imaging revealed no attic involvement. Overhaul and hot spots extinguished with a “loss stop” declared at 7:57. Firefighting efforts were hindered by aggressive dogs in and around the structure. The fire victim was evaluated and released by UCHealth paramedics at the scene. One Sheriff deputy was treated for dog bites. The cause of the fire is undetermined. The residence is uninhabitable until restoration efforts are completed.
