BULLHEAD CITY – Bullhead City Fire Department personnel handled two incidents in the same hour on Monday, May 25. Units first responded at 9:25 p.m. to a brush fire behind the Anderson Automotive Field House.
Fire Department information officer Lori Viles said the property was not threatened. She said no one was injured in the fire that scorched about 3 acres of brush.
Personnel next responded at 10:05 p.m. to a fire alarm sounding at a two-story apartment structure in the 1600 block of Havasupai Drive.
“Several tenants had already self-evacuated advising firefighters that a garage on the lower level was on fire,” Viles said. “Fortunately, the building is equipped with an automatic sprinkler system which properly activated a single sprinkler head in the garage area, extinguishing the fire before it spread.”
Two vehicles and other property stored in the garage was spared from damage. The causes of both fires remain under investigation.
