In two days, two structure fires have torn through two homes in Palm Coast. Friday evening, a home in Palm Coast’s F Section became engulfed with flames. The Palm Coast Fire Department’s and Flagler County Fire Rescue’s Engine 24, Engine 23, Engine 22, Ladder 25, Battalion 24 and fire police all responded to the scene, according to a PCFD Facebook post.
When crews arrived they found heavy fire showing from the roof with thick smoke throughout the residence, the post said. The homeowner reported the fire began in the back of the home and spread throughout the structure. No one was injured in the fire, which is believed to be electrical in origin, the post said.
The day before, on Thursday, another fire had engulfed a home in the B Section. When crews arrived, there was an active fire from the rear of the home with flames extending into the attic, according to a PCFD Facebook post.
Crews worked quickly and aggressively to contain the fire, limit further extension, and conduct salvage operations to protect the homeowner’s property, the post said. The Flagler Beach Fire Department provided support with a “defensive fire attack with aerial operations,” by providing “elevated master stream operations,” according to a FBFD Facebook post.
“This incident highlights the importance of strong interagency partnerships and coordinated response when incidents exceed the scope of a single department,” the FBFD post said. No one was injured in the fire.
