This evening, just after JCFR got back in service after cleaning up from the first structure fire, we were dispatched to a residence struck by lightning. We arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the front of the house. JCFR made a quick and aggressive attack to stop the spread of the fire. JCFR was assisted on scene by JCSO, MVFD, LVFD, & WVFD. We want to thank our volunteers who take time out of their personal lives to help their community. We also want to thank 1-800-boardup for coming out to help the family secure their property from further damage by sealing all the openings to the house caused by the fire.
