StructureFireAloeAve 003f1

Submitted by Pat Lightcap
On Sunday, February 19, 2012 Madison 911 Center received an early evening report of a structure fire at 393 NE Aloe Avenue in the Hansen area off Hwy 145 North in northern Madison County. A large storage shed was fully involved as fire personnel from Pinetta Fire/Rescue, Cherry Lake Fire/Rescue, and Madison Fire/Rescue arrived at the scene. Because of winds gusting to approximately 30 mph the Florida Division of Forestry responded to help isolate the fire to the area around the structure. Madison County Sheriff’s Department and Madison County EMS also assisted. The cause of the fire was unkown at the time of this report (7:00 PM). No injuries were reported.
