Investigators are now on scene working to determine the cause.

As rdnewsNOW reported yesterday, there’s been a rash of house fires over the last few days.

White says the recent string is a coincidence, but there are some valuable lessons to go along with that.

“This run we’ve had is super unusual, so we’d ask people to please check their smoke alarms and have an escape plan like this family did,” he says. “Also, be careful disposing of smoking materials, and be careful using portable heating devices.”

Three engines, a ladder, a rescue truck, a platoon chief, one ambulance, and 25 fire fighters responded to the Highland Green fire on Tuesday night.

No members of RDES have been injured in the recent fires.
