Occurred on 9/12/12, 6:27pm  House Fire   6209 Beckford Circle  1209120138    

Officer E. Smith was dispatched to Beckford Circle for a garage fire.  He arrived to find two neighbors using water hoses to put out the fire.  The Officer feared the home would be destroyed if the flames reached the rooftop.  He retrieved the fire extinguisher from his police car and entered the burning garage, crouching to remain underneath the smoke.  He began extinguishing the fire, but had to exit the garage for a breath of fresh air.  He immediately returned to battle the flames until CCFD arrived. Officers report no one was injured  in the fire.

This is another example of Officers using the tools issued to them as mandated by Chief Simpson to create a safer community.
