At 12:53 AM on Friday, April 15th, Tyler Fire Department’s Engine 1, Ladder 1, Battalion 1, Engine 5, Engine 7, Fire Marshal 7, and UT Health EMS were dispatched to the 900BLK of Mockingbird Ln for a structure fire.
Engine 7 arrived on scene at 12:59 AM and advised there was a fully involved wood-frame house. At 1:02 AM a second alarm was dispatched for Engine 2 and Ladder 2 to assist on the structure fire.
Tyler Fire crews worked quickly and strategically to extinguish the fire from all sides of the structure. Due to the large flames, a corner of a neighboring house caught fire along with a nearby vehicle. Different tools were used by firefighters to help locate fire on the roof and in the attic.
The single occupant of the home was taken to the hospital by UT Health EMS for non-life-threatening injuries.
At this moment, the cause of the fire is unknown and is currently being investigated by the Tyler Fire Marshal’s Office.
