COLUMBIA: 08:03 AM Houston County 911 dispatched Columbia Volunteer Fire, Webb Volunteer Fire, Kinsey Volunteer Fire, Houston County Sheriff Department to 105 E. North Street in Columbia to a structure fire.
Reports to Houston County 911 fire possibly in air ducts vents under the house. All residents are outside and small flames inside the unit.
Kinsey Police is also responding. A Houston County Sheriff Deputy said Kinsey could disregard. Unlike the Houston County Sheriff Deputies all Kinsey Police Units are equipped with fire fighting equipment and turn out gear. The Kinsey Police Officers respond along with the fire departments, shuck their police uniform and put on the fire fighting equipment and assist in fighting the fire. All Kinsey Police units have all medical equipment except Lucas Devices which they would love to have but the cost. So when they respond it is not always as a law enforcement officer but as a volunteer fireman or first responder medical unit to assist until EMS is present.
The offduty Kinsey Police Officer went in service and responded.
Webb Police is on the scene and he is also equipped with fire fighting equipment in his patrol unit.
The residence is a single wide mobile home structure, nothing visible.

Columbia on scene command reports all incoming units continue but can downgrade response.
