On Monday, the Knox-Center Township Fire Department shared details in regards to a fire that they responded to on June 7th.
The report shares that just before 10:30pm Sunday evening, the Knox-Center Township Fire Department responded to a call to assist the Washington Township Fire Department for a residential structure fire.
Upon arrival, members found a 2-story home with fire on both the first and second floors and in the basement. It was unknown to crews whether there was anyone in the structure, so a search was conducted.
After 20 minutes of the search, crews were advised to abandon the structure due to its deteriorating integrity. It was determined that no one was home at the time of the incident, and there were no reported injuries.
Crews operated on a defensive strategy for approximately 4 hours before returning to service.
