BROWNVILLE â Four hours after a fire broke out inside a home on Reasoner Road and killed five dogs, crews from multiple departments were still working to keep the flames out.
At about 3:30 p.m. Monday, Brownville firefighters received a call from a neighbor that the home at 20279 Reasoner Road was on fire. When they arrived, Brownville Fire District Chief Ryan McIntosh said the back of the house was ablaze.
âIt was quite involved by the time we got out here,â he said.
After about 45 minutes, crews were able to beat back most of the flames and bring the scene under control. With no hydrants, tanker trucks had to be brought in and a temporary pond put up in the street. Reasoner Road remained closed for hours after the first trucks arrived on scene, blocked by trucks, equipment and emergency workers.
