WASHINGTON
Resident dies in fire started by
smoking materials
A female resident died in a fire that
started when a cigarette set fire to
paper items on her living room floor,
then spread through her manufactured home.
The fire department was alerted to the
fire after a neighbor called 911 at 6 a.m.
An engine company that was first on the
scene reported smoke showing from the
home and initiated rescue operations due
to credible reports of an occupant inside
the structure. The search and rescue
effort was joined by a second engine
company four minutes later.
Crews described heavy smoke and
heat inside the home upon entry, and
located the deceased victim on a sofa
in the living room. They were able to
quickly extinguish the fire, which was
limited to items on the floor near the
victim's feet. Firefighters ventilated the
structure and summoned a coroner to
the scene for removal of the victim.
Investigators determined that the fire
ignited when a cigarette was dropped
onto the floor beside the sofa. They
indicated that there was an oxygen
machine along one side of the sofa,
but the victim did not appear to be on
oxygen when the fire started.
The single-wide manufactured home
had a ground-floor area of 1,080 square
feet (100 square meters).
Damage to the structure, valued at
$40,000, was estimated at $12,000.
Damage to the contents was estimated
at $6,000.

OHIO
Unattended cooking materials start
fire that claims life of resident
An apartment fire that ignited when
cooking materials were left burning on
the stove claimed the life of the male
resident after he apparently tried to
reenter the free-burning kitchen.  
Firefighters were called to the
eight-unit apartment building when
neighbors called 911 to report a structure fire with someone trapped inside.
First arriving crews reported that
smoke was visible and requested assistance from an additional engine.  

WHEN SECONDS MATTER
Husqvarna Construction Products was the first manufacturer of the rescue
saw called the K 12 in 1958. Our latest versions, the K 760 and K 970 Rescue
saws have been built on our years of knowledge and expertise.
The saws' magnesium blade guards contributes to a lighter weight and
increases the power-to-weight ratio. The guard has reflecitve tape to increase
visibility in smoke and water spray, which enhances control of the cutter. The
heavy-duty carrying strap features larger carabiners that are easier to handle
with gloves on.
All these features enable the saw to be highly productive and reliable - when it
matters most. To learn more, please visit our website www.husqvarnacp.com.
