RUSKIN, Fla. – Hillsborough County Fire Rescue was called to a structure fire late Tuesday morning in Ruskin.
“Our dispatch center received a 911 call from a first-party caller who reported smoke and flames coming from their home,” said HCFR.
Engine 28 was the first unit on the scene, stating that 50% of the structure was involved in the blaze.
Crews quickly deployed a hand line to attack the fire. Additional crews established a water supply from a nearby hydrant, ventilated the structure to allow for better visibility, and conducted two searches which confirmed no occupants were inside the residence.
