bridgeport fire department heads battle on structure fire, but single family home is “completely leveled”

The Bridgeport Fire Department, along with multiple other agencies, responded to a weekend structure fire that a fire official said left the residence destroyed.


 


According to Bridgeport Fire Chief Greg Pigg, the Harrison-Taylor 911alerted staff to a structure fire at 3:01 a.m. Sunday, August 9. The call was along Sugar Camp Road, which is out of the city limits, but in Bridgeport’s first due area.


 


Fire personnel arrived to find a working fire. The fire was to a single-family home in the rural area of Harrison County.


 


“Upon arrival, the home was already a total loss,” said Pigg. “It is completely Leveled.”


 

One positive is that there were no injuries and medical transports required because of the fire. Pigg did say crews were on the scene for nearly four hours getting everything under control, partially due to getting water to the site.


 


Pigg did say the blaze is under investigation. The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office will be working with the West Virginia Fire Marshal’s Office on the investigation.


 


The blaze also saw assistance, or units alerted, from the Anmoore Fire Department, the Nutter Fort Fire Department, the Shinnston Fire Department, and the Clarksburg Fire Department. The alerts are part of multiple mutual aid agreements in Harrison County.
