18:49 pm Monday – McGowan Subdivision – “Homeowners had their irrigation blown out and there was a valve  inside the house as a drain that had a ‘build up’ of dust behind it. Valve let go or failed and the dust filled the house causing the home owners to call 911 thinking they had a fire because of the smoke.”

Smoke detected from a parked van on a lot off Park Drive. Nothing too serious but fire volunteers on the scene to prevent any fire from spreading.
