Earlier this morning, the Tyler Fire Department responded to a structure fire on Sybil Lane. Engine 8, Engine 10, Engine 7, Ladder 2, Battalion 2 and Fire Marshal 7 were initially dispatched and responded to the scene.
Engine 8 arrived at the residence minutes later and reported fire coming from the roof, and that it had partially collapsed. There was only a single occupant in the home, and they were able to get out on their own.
The fire in the attic presented a challenge for the firefighters as it moved from one side of the house to the other, eventually breaking free from a hole in the collapsed roof. Engine 2 and Engine 9 were dispatched later in succession for more manpower on the fireground.
After a knockback of the fire, a control time was called at 12:58AM. All units were clear by 3:08AM. Tyler Police, and UT EMS also responded to the scene. Fire Marshals with the Tyler Fire Department are investigating the source of the fire.
