Attic Fire

 

At 10:15 a.m. Saturday, Jan 12, the occupants of a residence located in the 2800 block of Bamboo Drive called 9-1-1 to report a strong odor of smoke.  The Lake Havasu City Fire Department dispatched three engine companies, one truck company and a Battalion Chief to investigate.  First arriving units confirmed light smoke coming from the exterior attic vents of the structure.  All occupants exited the house without injury.  Fire crews quickly located a small fire in the attic.  The fire was controlled within minutes and no injuries were reported.  The cause of the fire was an overheated electrical circuit in the attic.  Damages are estimated at $20,000.
