Irondale House Fire

Irondale Fire & Rescue

Irondale Fire & Rescue responded to a house fire on Dresden Road yesterday afternoon. Upon arrival, crews found a house with smoke showing and fire starting to come out of a bedroom window. The fire, which had spread to the attic, was quickly attacked by Irondale and soon extinguished.

Great work by Irondale prevented much more fire damage!
