Saturday January 6 at 1808 Red River Fire District was dispatched to the report of a structure fire. Personnel that was stationed in Martin (Station 5) responded with Engine 4. With having a firefighter staffed at station 5 this allowed RRFD to have a unit on scene at 1813.

Engine 4 arrived on scene to find a mobile home with visible fire and heavy smoke throughout. A transitional fire attack was performed to extinguish bulk of the fire before other fire units arrived on scene.

RRFD requested mutual aid from Natchitoches Fire District 9 and Bienville Fire District 4&5 for water supply and manpower. After an extensive overhaul to find hidden fire this incident was called under control at 1917.

No injuries were reported at this incident.
