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

Fire crews respond to a house fire on Elon Road. The front door is blocked by clutter inside, making it hard to enter. There is heavy fire on the rear side of the home, and crews are moving slowly because of water supply problems. Multiple engines, tankers, and medic units are called to the scene. Firefighters find fire in the floor joists and begin opening walls and ceilings on the upper level. Power to the house needs to be checked, and teams work to control the fire and manage safety. One dog is removed from the home. Radio traffic notes that the house has hoarding conditions, so all units are told to use extra care inside.
