Fire fighters from Battalion 10 and CDF responded quickly to a house fire off of Ridge Road near Ponderosa Way Monday night, averting a total disaster at that residence. When the Battalion 10 commander arrived they had a “working fire” which could have become a “fully involved” structure very quickly. Fire fighters knocked down the fire quickly and determined the area of the source of the fire to be around a computer system in an upstairs room. The fire is still under investigation but evidence points topaper products piled in front of and around the computer which choke off air circulation for cooling and ventilation of the device. Computers and computer equipment should be well ventilated and flammable items such as paper and paper products should never been stored near or on top of the system.  A Bill Lavallie report
