Anderson Fire Department Battles Fire at Pearl House

ANDERSON, IN - A little after 10 a.m. this morning, Anderson Fire Department's Ladder 1, Engine 6, Engine 7, Medic 3, Rescue, and U20 were all called to a structure fire at the 1400 block of Pearl Street in Downtown Anderson. According to information over the police scanner, Medic 2 and CATS bus service were called in to keep occupants warm.

By 10:26 a.m. reports over the scanner were reporting that the fire was in the back of the structure and was possibly heading toward the attic. By 10:29 is was reported that the attic was "fully involved."

At 10:31 a.m., the decision was made to pull everyone out and go into defensive mode. By 10:33 it appeared all firefighters were out of the structure.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day or check the AFP Scanner News Thread for January 2009 for updates as they come in.

Scanner traffic suggest all residents were evacuated and City of Anderson Transportation System (CATS) buses.

A subject was detained at the scene and is will be questioned by Anderson police.

These were the best i could do.. the over spray was tear able.. I am soaked wet.. it was so cold that ice was freezing in the air hitting me as i walked close..  the cold air seamed to even freeze my camera. I am no photographer but knew Kpauls "Becky' was down for the count.. figured it was the best to do for him with him providing the site for us to read..i smell of smoke and need a bath..lol
