Thanks to the quick response of the firefighters, a Warsaw house fire Tuesday night was under control in less than 30 minutes, according to Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory Chief Joel Shilling.
He said the fire department was called out to a house fire at about 10:22 p.m. Tuesday at 2307 Brookview Drive, Warsaw. When crews arrived within minutes, flames were showing at the front left corner of the home.
“They were able to get it under control in less than 30 minutes. Both of the residents escaped on their own,” Shilling said.
County records indicate the property is owned by Arden L. and Deborah D. McFarland.
No injures were reported.
The cause remains under investigation.
WWFT was assisted at the scene by Winona Lake and Plain Township fire departments, Warsaw Police Department, Lutheran EMS and NIPSCO. Seven apparatuses responded to the scene, including command vehicles, a ladder truck and an engine from Winona Lake. A rescue truck from Plain Township was canceled before it arrived on scene. Twenty-five men were on scene.
The residents’ information was given to the American Red Cross for assistance.
“The crews did a great job,” Shilling stated.
