BACKGROIJND: T received notification of the fire via the Communications Center. I responded to the incident scene and arrived at approximately 1218 hours. At the time of my arrival fire crews were attempting to extinguish the fire and were beginning salvage and overhaul operations. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The structure is a two story, wood framed, single family dwelling with a full basement. The exterior of the home contained wood siding covered by vinyl siding and the interior walis contain lath and plaster. The building ran north to south in length with the front of the structure facing south. EXTERIOR EXAMINATION: Visual inspection of the exterior noted no fire damage on the south side. There was no damage on the east or west sides either. The north side of the structure was examined and i found burning through the wall near the second floor, between the first and second floor. The fire had burned a hole through the wall approximately four to six inches in diameter. Light smoke staining was noted coming out of some of the windows and neaz the eaves. The electrical meter was located on the north side of the home and was found to be undamaged by the fire. 10-126 Fire Investigation Report 639 Sherbume Page Two INTERIOR EXAMINATIOn: Visual inspection of the dwelling interior basement noted no fire damage. Examinarion of the electrical panel found a couple of breakers to have been tripped. All of the breakers however had been shut off by fire suppression personnel. Examination of the furnace and washer and dryer showed them to be undamaged by the fire. The first floor of the home was inspected and i found no fire damage in the living room or bedrooms. A small amount of smoke damage was noted in those rooms. The main fire damage on the first floor was located in the kitchen near the kitchen ceiling. The fire had been from the north wall into the joist space and then had traveled along the kitchen ceiling upwards to the second floor bathroom. Exatnination of the second floor noted smoke throughout. The main fire damage was located in the bathroom at the north end of the house. There was extensive burning along the east wa11 of the bathroom near the laiee wall as well as some burning along the north wall and ceiling. Much of the contents within bathroom were burned. There was a hole burned in the north wall at floor level in the northwest corner neaz the shower stall. This is the location of the electrical heat lamp. I was unable to fmd the heat lamp within the fire debris. I am not sure if the heat lamp was thrown out the window during overhaul operations. INTERVIEWS: Properiy Owner/Occupant, MARIA ESTELA ROMO, stated: • Her mother owns the property, but her mother just passed away. • She is in the process of buying the property. • They have had problems in the past with the water pipes on the north wall freezing. • Her step-father, FERNANDO GONZALES, placed a heat lamp in the bathroom in order to keep the pipes from freezing. Occuoant, FERNANDO GONZALES, stated throu�h interpreter ELVIA MATEOS: • He put a heat lamp on the nor[h wall near the floor to keep the pipes from freezing. • When they smelled smoke and noficed the electricity had gone out, he went upstairs. • He discovered a fire burning in the bathroom near the north wall where the light was. • They have not had any electrical problems in the house. 10-126 Fire Investigarion Report 639 Sherburne Avenue Page Three PHOTOGRAPHS: Digital photographs were taken. EVIDENCE: No evidence was collected. CONCLUSION: After examination of the fire scene and the interviews conducted it is my opinion based on my education, background, and experience and observation of the fire movement patterns and intensity patterns that this fue originated in the upstairs bathroom at the north wall near the floor. This was the location where an electric heat lamp had been placed. This fire is accidental due to a heat producing item being too close to combustible materials. Due to the fact that this fire is accidental, this investigation shall be considered closed. J. Novak, Fire Investigator, B Shift 08 JJN/su �1��Y�� f
