News ========================================================= Structure Fire on Main St. Fairplay
Shortly before noon on June 30, 2008 North-West Fire Protection District was called to a structure fire at 715 Main St in Fairplay. Within minutes firefighters arrived to a mobile home with smoke billowing from all of the windows, vents, and eaves. Crews were quickly able to gain access to the interior of the home. Once inside visibility inside was extremely limited and the heat kept firefighters to a crawl, but they rapidly found the fire in the rear of the structure near a bathroom. The fire was controlled within 18 minutes of the initial 911 call. Investigators remained on scene for several hours and are working to determine a cause. Due to the heat and smoke damage the home is uninhabitable. No injuries were reported due to the fire.
