At approximately 12:40 on Wednesday morning, the Dewey Fire Department was paged to a “working” house fire on Oak Street that started in the attached garage.

While en route to the fire, a Dewey police officer advised dispatch that the fire was spreading quickly. Dewey Fire's Pumper One Truck arrived on the scene and made the initial attack for a quick knock down. Pumper Three arrived on scene and supplied water.
