Units were dispatched to the unit block of Hunters Gate Terrace for a report of smoke coming from the townhouse. Units arrived on the scene to find heavy fire showing from the Charlie Side of a two story townhouse. Units find fire on all three levels. An aggressive interior attack by the Box Alarm companies brought the fire under control in short order. Units were also immediately sent to the Delta exposure to prevent extension to the attached occupancies. The fire was held to areas involved on arrival with only minor extension to the attached exposures. Primary and secondary searches produced negative results.
