Just after 9:am, the Pleasant View
Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a reported
structure fire on Pinnacle Circle, which is located
within the town limits of Pleasant View.
Engine 401 arrived to find a detached
3-car garage, fully involved and spreading to the
3700-square-foot single-family home. The occupants
of the home had been alerted by neighbors, and had
safely evacuated the structure.
With no fire hydrants nearby and
limited available staffing, the fire quickly spread to
the residential structure, which was not equipped with
fire sprinklers. The result was a total loss.
Fire departments from Ashland City,
Springfield, Two Rivers, and White House Community
responded to assist.
Disappointed in the outcome, PVVFD
Fire Chief Shane Ray referred to the event as a
"suppression staffing, fire prevention, building code,
and zoning ordinance failure."
