The Metro West Fire District along with other fire Districts battled a large house fire off of Forest Club Drive in Clarkson Valley. The first arriving engine Captain made a decision to pull the firefighters out of the structure after he observed the floor being ready to collapse into the basement. His decision probably saved the firefighters from serious injuries or death. The fire was burning in the basement with extension into the first floor and going through the roof. The crews battled this fire from the outside with ladder trucks and large hose lines. They did an outstanding job containing this fire to only one structure and only having three minor injuries to the firefighters working this fire.
