GLENMOOR — Glenmoor and Calcutta Volunteer Fire Departments responding to an engulfed structure fire at 46351 Second St. in Glenmoor late Sunday night.

The departments were called out at approximately 11:37 p.m. to a fire which started inside a detached garage on the property.

They arrived on the scene at approximately 11:47 p.m. and had the fire under control by 1:30 a.m.

Capt. Derrick Smith said the crews were getting updates while en route but still weren’t sure what they were heading into. When crews arrived at the scene, they found the detached garage well involved in flames, with the home, a garage and an RV at risk of exposure to the flames.

“The garage on fire had caved in on itself from the flames when the crews pulled up to it and the fire had spread to a small shed that was directly behind the garage,” Smith said.

Smith noted that the fire was close to spreading to the other structures when they arrived on scene and crews immediately took defensive action to protect the residence by running a line between the house and the fire, knocking the fire back and cooling the house down. They were able to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading until more crews including tanker trucks from West Point and Liverpool Township volunteer departments arrived.

Tanker trucks were requested due to no fire hydrants being in the immediate area and crews having to shuttle water in. The fire was extinguished with water and foam.

Smith said the foam was used at the end due to the fire being stubborn, causing everything to fall in on itself. As of Monday, there were no rekindles of the fire.

The elderly owner and residents, Ben and Beverly Beebout, were at home at the time of the fire and were ordered to shelter in place inside the home while firefighters worked to get the garage fire under control and keep it from spreading to the other structures on the property. Smith said with the fire in the garage and the danger from the down power line, at that time the safest option was for them to stay put inside the house.

North Star Critical Care was on the scene in case a squad was needed, and AEP was called to deal with a downed power line in front of one of the fire trucks, which the firefighters had to work around while waiting for them to arrive. Smith then asked AEP to stick around and reconnect the power to the house for the residents, which they did. No law enforcement was needed.

Smith noted after the fire was under control and he did a walk around the property, he did not observe any fire damage to the house.

The fire department declared the 60- by 40-foot garage a total loss and set a damage estimate at approximately $90,000 — $65,000 for the garage and $25,000 for the contents, which included a classic car.

There were no road closures or traffic diversions due to the fire.

The last unit cleared the scene at 2:20 a.m.

There were no injuries to residents or firefighters.

The fire has been determined as non-suspicious with an undeterminable cause due to the amount of damage. There is no investigation. Smith noted they looked around and asked questions but there was nothing that directly pointed to any specific cause.

Smith said that he is thankful crews called in back up help early on because late night calls can be hit or miss on the amount of crew members available to respond and that between all the stations that responded there ended up being enough people there, but if they had not called sooner things could have been a lot worse.

“We are just really thankful for the departments that came to help us out.” Smith said.
