The acrid smell of smoke still hung in the air Monday morning as neighbors and others came to see the desolate scene of blackened debris and melted, twisted metal from a serious fire which reduced two homes to heaps of ash late Saturday night in Old Bisbee.
The Bisbee Fire Department (BFD) again did the seemingly impossible and fought fire engulfing the homes, situated within feet of each other, and fought to stop further spread to three other homes.
The call came in to 911 around 11:20 p.m. and a five-man crew answered the call. They found one of the O’Hara Avenue homes completely engulfed in flames and the home on the corner of O’Hara Avenue and Curve Street about 80 percent involved, according to Bisbee Fire Capt. Brandon Davey.
