PARKERSBURG — The investigation is ongoing into a Thursday house fire on Pine Avenue that resulted in no injuries.

Fire broke out at 170 Pine Ave. around 3:30 p.m. Crews were still on the scene at 5:30 p.m.

The Mineral Wells Volunteer Fire Department, the East Wood VFD, the Lubeck VFD, the Waverly VFD and the Wood County Fire Investigation team responded to the fire. The Wood County Sheriff’s Department was also on the scene.

Fire broke out at the rear of the residence and consumed a garage structure that had an apartment on top, said Captain Ben Fouse of the Mineral Wells VFD

“The investigation is still ongoing,” he said at just after 5 p.m. “We are still handling a number of hot spots.”

All of the occupants in the house were able to get out as well as their pets, Fouse said. A cat got scared and was somewhere roaming the neighborhood. No injuries were reported.

Crews initially did an exterior attack on the fire to the back building and then did an interior attack on the house with crews going to the back kitchen area where fire had broken out, Fouse said.

“Once we had more crew here, we went to the interior, to the kitchen and knocked all of that down to stop the flames from spreading any further into the house,” he said.

The house next door had siding that was beginning to melt and crews cooled it off with water, Fouse said.

A fire hydrant was located close to the house a couple of doors up so crews had a source of water to fight the fire.
