TVFD was dispatched to a working structure fire early Sunday morning with Hazel Green VFD second due.  First arriving firefighters reported smoke inside the residence.  E-214 arrived and two pre-connects were stretched to the structure.  Firefighters determined the fire was inside the wall behind the kitchen cabinets.  A small amount of fire was also visible on the exterior of the home.  Some sheetrock was taken down while outside siding was removed and the fire was contained to a small area.  Cause of the fire is under investigation. 

TVFD along with Harvest F.D. was dispatched just before noon for a structure fire with possible entrapment.  First units on scene reported smoke and flames showing, with all occupants out of the house.  Firefighters made entry through the front door and located the fire in a second floor bedroom.  The fire damage was contained in the interior to that bedroom, but there was heavy smoke damage throughout.  There was also damage to the exterior of the home in the rear and a wooden fence.  Thanks to Monrovia, Harvest and Bobo F.D.'s for their assistance.  Also, a big thanks to Rick and Andy with HEMSI Medic 12 for their help until additional manpower arrived.

Toney Fire responded to a reported vehicle fire near gasoline pumps.  C514 arrived first and reported the vehicle fully involved but not threatening any pumps or structures.  Firefighters made quick work of the fire, but the vehicle was a total loss.

Toney VFD was dispatched to assist Bobo and Hazel Green VFD's for a field fire threatening two structures.  Through the efforts of all three departments the fire was brought under control and both structures saved with minimal damage.  However, a dog was located inside one of the structures during a primary search.  The dog appeared to have been living in the abandoned structure, but seemed to be in good health.  The animal was taken to a safe location temporarily and the proper authorities were notified.  The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Toney Fire along with Bobo VFD responded to a reported structure fire at a mobile home.  The first Toney unit on scene reported the structure was heavily involved.  E214 arrived first and firefighters immediately deployed lines to begin fighting the blaze.  Also of major concern was a large propane tank at the back of the structure that was being threatened by the fire.  Firefighters made forcible entry through the back door to begin a primary search of the home.  Neighbors stated that there was a strong possibility that someone might be inside.  The primary search was completed up to a collapsed roof finding two deceased dogs.  Sadly, units outside the structure who were still fighting fire, located one victim and another dog at the end where the roof had collapsed.  Thanks to combined efforts of both departments the fire was effectively brought under control and authorities began their investigation as to the cause of the fire.  Toney VFD extends its heartfelt sympathy to the family during this time of sorrow.
