Описание к видео Haines City Firefighters in Action: Swift Response to Jefferson Road Structure Fire

The Haines City Fire Department (HCFD) swiftly contained a significant structure fire at 200 Jefferson Rd. on Thursday afternoon, with crucial support from Polk County Fire Rescue (PCFR).

At 1:55 PM, HC Engine 2 arrived on the scene to find heavy smoke and flames emanating from Unit B of a single-story, four-unit residence. Bystanders confirmed that all occupants had evacuated safely. HC Engine 2 initiated an exterior attack to knock down the flames, while HC Engine 1 arrived and proceeded with an interior offensive to fully extinguish the fire.

PCFR Medic Rescue 30 and HC Tower 1 conducted searches of the adjacent units, confirming they were clear of occupants. The fire, which had vented through the roof and was visible from the front door and windows, was brought under control within 15 minutes. Units remained on scene searching for hot spots until 4:55PM. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported among residents or fire personnel.

The State Fire Marshal's Office was contacted to investigate the incident.

The American Red Cross was activated to aid the displaced residents, who were temporarily relocated by the property manager but needed additional support for food and clothing.

"I couldn't be prouder of our team," said Haines City Fire Chief Drew Neubrand. "Their quick response and teamwork made all the difference today. Our firefighters, along with the support from Polk County Fire Rescue, worked tirelessly to contain the fire and ensure everyone's safety. It's moments like these that remind us of the incredible dedication and bravery of our firefighters. We are grateful for the assistance from all involved agencies and the community’s support."

The Haines City Fire Department extends its gratitude to Polk County Fire Rescue and all other assisting agencies. The fire remains under investigation.
