MATHENY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A residential structure fire drew response from several Wyoming County emergency units over the weekend.
The Oceana Fire Department reports that, at approximately 12:10am on Saturday, the department was dispatched to the Matheny area in response to a 2-story residential structure fire with flames showing on the second floor.
It is reported that Units 302, 304, and 306 responded to the scene within minutes while Cyclone Fire Department was close behind to provide mutual aid.
Due to the nature of the blaze, Unit 302 made a request for additional assistance from the Pineville Department.
Emergency units on-scene were ultimately able to contain the fire to the second floor of the home, and it is reported that the residence was unoccupied at the time of the incident.
“Thankfully with everyone’s rapid response, the fire was contained to the second floor,” said the Oceana Fire Department.
The cause of the fire apparently has yet to be determined, and all units evacuated the scene at roughly 2:00am.
