At approximately 04:48 a.m., GPFD responded to a house fire in the 3600 block of Green Hollow Drive with reports of two possible victims trapped inside. Upon arrival, firefighters found a structure fully engulfed in flames, with a visible collapsing roof. The crews quickly began a primary search and located an adult male, who was removed through a window. The male was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.

As firefighters continued searching for a second victim, the structure’s walls began to collapse, forcing firefighters to evacuate.

An adult female victim was later located and pronounced deceased at the scene.

One firefighter was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries, but has since been released.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

🚒 Fire Prevention Week 2026 🚒

This year’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety!” 🔋

Our everyday devices rely on lithium-ion batteries including phones, laptops, e-bikes, scooters, and power tools. While these batteries provide convenience in our daily lives, improper use, charging, or storage can create a serious fire risk.

This Fire Prevention Week, let’s learn how to safely use and charge lithium-ion batteries to help prevent battery related fires.

✅ Use approved chargers
✅ Follow manufacturer instructions
✅ Inspect batteries for damage
✅ Keep batteries away from heat and flammable materials
✅ Never use a battery that is swollen, leaking, or damaged
✅ Never sleep with a phone or tablet under your pillow or on your bed
