According to a post on the Department's Facebook Page, five stations were dispatched to the house fire on Glenwood drive just after 2:00 am. First arriving units reported the house was 50% involved with one end of the house collapsing. Using water shuttled in from a nearby station, firefighters were able to get the fire under control in 30 minutes.
