Spring Hill Fire Department crews responded Tuesday to a reported structure fire in the Benevento East neighborhood. Upon arrival, firefighters detected an electrical odor and light smoke coming from the garage of the home.
During their investigation, crews removed the front panel of the hot water heater and discovered the unit had shorted out. Power was isolated to the appliance, and the situation was quickly brought under control.
The first fire apparatus arrived in just over eight minutes. Officials noted that once the new Fire Station 4 is operational, response times to this area will improve significantly, enhancing the department’s ability to protect the community even faster.
