Just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 20, 2022, Local members responded to a house fire on Glasgow Court in Douglas County. Many concerned community members saw the large plume of black smoke which was visible for miles. Crews encountered low to zero visibility and extreme heat inside while using thermal imaging cameras to quickly search in the toxic smoke for people and pets. The residents weren’t home at the time, but members rescued 2 dogs and 1 cat. SMFR is equipped with pet oxygen masks which were used to treat the animals.
