Danville firefighters battled both fires and high wind over the weekend.

Saturday afternoon firefighters were called to a blaze at 910 Martin Street. The occupants of the residence who had escaped the fire were outside when firefighters arrived. They reported that two dogs remained inside the building.

Firefighters immediately entered the building and began searching for the pets. They quickly located the pets and passed them outside to awaiting firefighters. It was discovered that one of the dogs was not breathing at the time. The dog was given oxygen therapy and recovered from the incident.

The fire was extinguished, and firefighters remained on scene to clean up and extinguish any remaining hot spots. The cause of the fire remains undetermined. The damage to the house was listed at 26 thousand dollars.

Sunday evening firefighters were called to a large fire reported at 314 Chandler.  The first arriving crews attacked the large house fire, while additional arriving firefighters battled several spot fires that were occurring from the embers being blown around, including on the roof of a nearby residence and many ground fires. The high winds contributed significantly to the spread of the spot fires. 

The vacant home was a total loss. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
