St. Augustine, FL – Shortly before 10:00 am on Sunday, July 18, 2010, firefighters from St. Johns County Station 6 responded to a home in the 6400 block of Madison Road for a reported residential structure fire.

Firefighters arrived finding light smoke coming from the home and made the decision to enter the building, making a rapid attack on the fire inside. The fire, contained to the kitchen area of the home, was put out very quickly. The amount of damage to the home is unknown as firefighters were not able to release information at the scene.

A neighbor who lives across the street said, “..she came running out of the house screaming. That was right before the fire trucks showed up.” When asked if there was smoke or fire coming from the home at that time, he said, “There was smoke coming out. I didn’t see the fire but I believe it started in the microwave.”

The occupant of the home sat on the lawn watching as firefighters went in and out of the residence and was joined by several other women that arrived later. Firefighters spent some time talking with the occupant and the other women but she was not available for comment.

The incident is under investigation by the St. Johns County Fire Departments investigation unit and there where no reports of injuries from the scene.
