Jason Evans with DFR says that typically, firefighters only deal with two colors of smoke at a fire scene.
“We are accustomed to seeing black smoke when the fire is burning and white smoke when the fire is being put out," Evans said. "And when it turns to a color other than those two, then we know there’s something not right.”
No other injuries were reported and DFR hazmat teams said there was no ongoing concern for air quality in the area.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
"At this time, we don’t understand why chlorine was inside the house," Evans said.
The homeowner says he was preparing to demolish the home on Friday to build a new single-family home on the lot.
However, he told 온라인카지노사이트 5, the property has been plagued by people staying in the empty house without any legal basis to be there.
Louis Campbell lives nearby and said the fire put several nearby homes at risk and was preventable.
“We’re kind of glad the house is going to be gone," Campbell said. "I feel that this is one less problem we have in our neighborhood.”
