On October 9th, 2024, at 6:06 PM, Great Falls Fire Rescue’s D Platoon was dispatched to a working structure fire at 1213 1st Ave SW. Upon arrival, GFFR’s Tower 2 identified a trailer house engulfed in flames, with significant involvement on the southern end. GFFR promptly requested assistance from the Montana Air National Guard and Malmstrom Air Force Base’s fire departments to provide coverage for Station 3 and 4. Additionally, GFFR issued and filled a callback for an engine company.
The fire resulted in substantial damage, leading to a complete loss of the structure. The residence was deemed uninhabitable, prompting notification to the American Red Cross, which is now in contact with the occupants.
While no people were injured, two dogs from the household tragically perished in the fire.
The cause of the fire is presently under investigation.
