| 02/28/2023 | COT - ENFC - Code Enforcement - Follow Up | Passed | INSPECTOR WAS CONTACTED BY TFD THAT THEY HAD A REKINDLE AT THIS PROPERTY, I ASKED THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE AT THAT TIME AND INVESTIGATOR INFORMED ME THAT THE FIRE RESTARTED IN THE LIVINGROOM AREA AND THAT THE ROOF IN THE LIVING ROOM AREA TOTALLY BURNED AND COLLAPSED, INVESTIGATOR STATED MANY OF THE WINDOWS WERE DAMAGED. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE SCENE I WAS INFORMED BY TFD CAPTAIN THAT THE FRONT GATE WAS LOCKED AND OPENED BY THE NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET SO THAT TFD DID NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE FRONT GATE BUT ALSO STATED THE DOOR FROM THE CARPORT TO THE HOUSE WAS OPEN. I LOOKED INSIDE THE WINDOWS AND FOUND THE FURNITURE IN THE WEST SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE REMAINED BUT AGAIN HEAVY SMOKE DAMAGE AND POSSIBLY CONTENTS BURNED OR MOVED AROUND BY TFD. THE MIDDLE THIRD OF THE TRUSSES AND CEILING WERE BURNED AND COLLAPSED, TFD REMOVED THE BOARDS ON THE FRONT WINDOW AND DOOR. UTILITIES REMAIN OFF FROM YESTERDAY. ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC HAD BEEN EXPOSED IN THE WALLS WHERE DRYWALL HAD BEEN REMOVED. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE ROOF STRUCTURE , AND TRUSSES COLLAPSED, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE BUILDING IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS. . FUTURE GAS AND ELECTRIC RECONNECTS AND DEMO PERMITS WILL BE REQUIRED. THERE ARE NO FURTHER ISSUES AT THIS TIME. COMPLIANCE / CLOSE CASE, |
