Just after 8 pm tonight, Rescue 14 and the Chief (14-8) responded to assist the Five Points Fire Company on a house fire reported with entrapment on Boxwood Road. Units quickly arrived, finding burnt food on the stove with two patients needing to be evaluated for burns. Crews assisted with cleanup after the situation was quickly placed under control. Two patients refused transport.
