On Wednesday,
August 18, 2010, at 11:59 hours, the Bullhead City Fire Department
responded to a residential fire on Gold Stake Road,
which appeared to have been
started by an accidental cooking incident. With eight units on scene,
firefighters aggressively attacked
the fire from two sides with handlines.
The water supply was a concern due to the fact that there are no hydrants in the
area
commonly known as Billy Goat Acres at Katherine's Landing. The Water
Tender Unit from Station One and the National Park Service Engine
shuttled water
from a hydrant fifteen minutes away. Fortunately there was very little
wind that day. The home and contents were a total loss.
