from the resident of a home on Thistle Place, off Donovan’s Road in Goulds. Several subsequent calls from area residents quickly followed, with thick black smoke billowing into the sky being visible from several kilometres away.SJRFD Acting Platoon Chief Ed Sears said that when crews with the Goulds Volunteer Fire Department first arrived on the scene eleven minutes later the two-storey wooden home was fully involved with fire.
Because there are no fire hydrants in the area, firefighters had to draft water from nearby Second Pond and pump it to the fire scene. Once a reliable water source was established crews used a master stream from atop an engine to finally douse the flames. With large flankers and ash falling in the area, police closed Donovan’s Road in the immediate area to restrict access of curious onlookers and to allow crews space to work.
