Lawnmower Believed To Have Caused Brazil Fire

BRAZIL. Ind – Brazil firefighters were called our Sunday night to 308 N Sycamore

Brazil Fire Chief Jake Bennett said that the fire started while the resident was working on his riding lawnmower and it backfired starting the fire.

The homeowner made an effort to extinguish the fire with an extinguisher, but was unable to get it under control.

The first arriving engine and on duty crew knocked the fire down quickly.

Off duty members responded with another truck and put out other areas through much of the attic space.

No injuries were reported.

Damage was contained to the garage and attic area and consisted of water and some smoke damage. The living space was largely unharmed.
