As the late night storm carried over into the early morning, a crash of thunder awakened one Marydel resident. Moments later, she heard her smoke detector sounding, and could see smoke inside her house. The call to 911 was placed and Kent Center alerted Stations 56 (Marydel) and 51 for a house fire, making this one the third on the same rd in a month. 56-15 (Chief B. Madden) arrived finding smoke conditions and ordered Engine 56-1 to pull two attack lines. Engine 51-3 arrived and assisted with getting the attack lines in service. Crews made entry through the front door and found a small amount of fire coming from the oven in the kitchen. The fire was quickly extinguished and crews immediately checked for any extension into the walls. The quick actions from 56 and 51, as well as a wake up call from mother nature, kept fire damage to the oven and the wall directly behind or else this particular country block would have lost three houses in less than a month.
