ROCKWOOD CREWS QUICKLY EXTINGUISH OUTBUILDING FIRE NEAR RIDGEVIEW ELEMENTARY

By Dudley Evans –
Emergency responders contained a Monday afternoon garage fire on Pump House Road in Rockwood, preventing flames from spreading to a nearby residence.
The Rockwood Fire Department, police, and emergency medical services arrived around 2:30 p.m. to find heavy smoke and flames coming from an open outbuilding located about 500 yards east of Ridgeview Elementary School. Crews brought the blaze under control within 30 minutes.
Pump House Road was temporarily closed to through traffic during the operation. The Harriman Fire Department was initially requested for mutual aid but was canceled after Rockwood crews confirmed they could handle the incident independently.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
