On the morning of Tuesday, March 2, Kingman Fire Department was dispatched for a structure fire in the area of Simms and Jackson Sts.
First arriving fire personnel found heavy fire and smoke exiting a single family residence. Crews immediately began a defensive attack due to the heavy fire involvement throughout the structure. It appeared that the structure was vacant as the windows and doors were boarded up. Personnel found the area of origin at the rear of the residence on the north/west corner.
Crews were able to quickly bring the fire under control from the exterior through windows and doors. Once the initial fire-knock down was complete crews made entry to conduct a primary all clear for the possibilities of victims in the structure. The interior of the structure was vacant with no victims located.
The fire is under investigation.
