05/31/2021 INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT GOODMAN Approved VISITED SITE, UPON ARIVAL I FOUND THERE WAS NO FIREFIGHTERS ON SITE AND NO TFD INVESTIGATORS AS WELL. WHEN I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AN ELDERLY LADY ANSWERED THE DOOR AND STATED SHE WAS UNAWARE OF WHAT HAPPENED AS SHE WAS IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM AT THE TIME, BUT SHE WAS BLACK ON HER ARMS, HER CHEST AND FACE AND HER DAUGHTER HAD JUST ARRIVED. I HAD NO ONE TO EXPLAIN HOW THE FIRE MAY OF STARTED. I WENT TO THE KITCHEN WHERE I FOUND FIRE DAMAGED ITEMS ON THE STOVE. THE STOVE WAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE WALL AND FIRE DAMAGED, IT WAS A GAS UNIT AND ELECTRIC FOR THE CLOCK ON THE STOVE. THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET ABOVE THE STOVE WAS FIRE DAMAGED AND OTHER OUTLETS AND SWITCHES MELTED AS WELL AS LIGHT FIXTURES. GAS WAS TURNED OFF OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN DOOR AT THE METER. I FOUND ELECTRICITY WAS STILL ON, AND A SINGLE BREAKER IN THE OFF POSITION, I ASSUME FOR THE KITCHEN. THE TRAILER PARK I GUESSED WAS ALSO A MASTER METER SYSTEM, I DO NOT BELIEVE TEP OR S/W GAS WERE CALLED OUT. AT THIS POINT I CONTACTED COMMUNICATIONS AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CAL TFD BACK OUT. I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THE SMALL 2 BEDROOM UNIT WAS LIVABLE. THE FIRE WAS LIMITED TO THE KITCHEN BUT THERE WAS HEAVY SMOKE DAMAGE TO THE LIVING ROOM AREA. THE MOTHER WAS COVERED IN SOOT HEAD TO TOE. MOTHER HAS COPD. DAUGHTER STATED THAT THEY HAVE LIVED THERE 3 YRS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO HAVE MORE THAN TWO ITEMS PLUGGED INTO THE OUTLETS AT ONE TIME WITHOUT THE BREAKERS KICKING OFF. WHEN TFD ARRIVED BACK ON SITE, THEY STATED THEY PUT THE FIRE OUT, TURNED OFF THE GAS, MADE SURE OCCUPANT WAS OK, CHECKED HER VITALS, INVESTIGATORS REFUSED TO COME OUT DUE TO DAMAGE BEING UNDER 10,000 DOLLARS. TFD WAS ASKED TO CALL RED CROSS AND THEY DID. MANAGER AND OWNER WERE ASKED IF THEY HAD A AVAILABLE UNIT THAT COULD BE USED TO PUT THE OCCUPANTS UP AFTER TWO DAYS WITH RED CROSS. THEY DID HAVE A UNIT AVAILABLE BUT WITHOUT A/C. I ASKED WHILE WITH RED CROSS COULD THEY GET COOLING TO THE UNIT AND THEY STATED THEY COULD TRANSFER WINDOW A/C UNITS TO TRAILER #8 WHILE THEIR HOUSE WAS BEING REPAIRED. BOTH OCCUPANTS, MANAGER, AND OWNER AGREED. ALL WINDOW AND DOOR OPENINGS COULD BE PROPERLY SECURED. NOV WAS ISSUED FOR A EMERGENCY VACATE AND INCLUDED PERMITS REQUIRED FOR THE ELECTRICAL AND ALL NECCESARY REPAIRS TO THE STRUCTURE. I EXPLAINED THAT A ELECTRICAL EVALUATION WAS REQUIRED BY THE ELECTRICIAN DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONTINUING TO KICK THE BREAKERS AND THE FACT THAT THE LAUNDRY ROOM WAS CONNECTED TO THEIR STRUCTURE. C/E HAS NO FURTHER ISSUES. COMPLIANCE CLOSE CASE.
