Fire crews were dispatched to a house on Pheasant Close South for an automatic fire alarm that was upgraded to a reported structure fire. The keyholder had earlier reported a strong smell of burning oil and returned to meet the firefighters. Multiple units arrived, located nearby fire hydrants, and checked the exterior of the two-story residence. They reported no smoke or fire visible from outside and worked to gain entry with the caretaker. Inside, they noted a smell consistent with an oil burner issue and believed the problem was related to the heating system in the basement, with no active fire showing.
