Not official report. AI-generated from public dispatch audio. Always verify with official sources.

Fire crews respond to a two-story house on Squirrel Ridge Place after the residents report a smoke or gas smell in a sun room. The residents had used a gas fireplace about thirty minutes earlier, and the odor was first noticed in that room. Firefighters check the house, including the walkout basement, and use gas detection equipment. All meter readings remain normal and show no hazardous gas levels. Crews find a slight odor near an enclosed gas fireplace and determine it is likely a malfunctioning fireplace rather than an active fire or gas leak. No dangerous conditions are found, and most units are released from the scene.
