WHITESBORO - One adult and two children have been displaced following a structure fire here on the 700 block of S. Gibbs St.

Rio Grande and Green Creek Fire Departments were dispatched around 8:35 p.m. on June 30.

When firefighters arrived they reported fire in the rear of the single family home. The fire was later reported to be under control at 9 p.m.

The county fire marshal was requested to the scene to investigate a hot water heater that may have been the cause, according to Middle Township police. The Red Cross was requested to the scene to assist the residents.

Does it really matter what all fire companies are at the location and what companies are standing by at other firehouses?? It seems like you always have something to say about every fire/rescue case. Are you driving around until something happens just so you can say that you were on location?

THIS GUY ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE TO PUT HIS TWO CENTS INTO EVERY FIRE/RESCUE SITUATION DOESNT HE? WHAT A WIERDO! HE IS PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE AROUND WITH A BLUE LIGHT ON HIS CAR CHASING PLEASE CARS WITH A SCANNER!

HOPE THE FAMILY IS OK!
