Churubusco home catches fire, fire truck doesn’t fair well either

Incident Date 04 January 2010 by Chris Tomlinson

Churubusco firefighters were called to a home in Noble County on 200 East at 7:30 p.m. for a house fire.

Crews arrived to find moderate smoke and fire inside the two story home.

The fire was under control in approximately 20 minutes, no one was injured but the home did sustain moderate to heavy smoke, fire and water damage.

Unfortunately during the incident, after much of the fire had been extinguished, the lead pump, 203, caught fire under the pump panel. Crews worked quickly to put out the small fire, but much of the wiring inside the truck was damaged.

The cause remains under investigation, but it’s believed to have started in the area of the chimney.
