The Trion Fire Department responded to the second house fire in as many days on Monday afternoon.  The fire started on the porch of a home on Henderson Drive in the Ridgeway Community and quickly spread to the inside of the mobile home. 

Trion firefighters responded around 1 PM and were able to extinguish the fire before it spread further through the home. Trion firefighters were able to rescue an adult cat, three baby kittens, and a guinea pig. Sadly, one adult cat and two kittens were found deceased.

On Sunday morning, Trion firefighters had responded to a house fire on Echols Drive.  In both fires, there were no working smoke alarms inside the home.  The Trion Fire Department posted, “We can’t stress enough how important it is to have working smoke alarms!”.

Trion Fire Fighters received assistance from the Summerville, Hays Correctional and Teloga Fire Departments at the fire on Henderson Drive on Monday.
