Crews responded to a residential fire on Briargrove Drive after reports of an electrical breaker panel smoking and popping. The cause was an electrical panel failure, possibly due to overheating. Fortunately, the fire was limited to the panel and did not spread to the rest of the home. The American Red Cross was contacted to assist the occupants until an electrician can restore power and complete necessary repairs. No injuries were reported. Stay safe โ have your electrical panels and systems inspected regularly by a licensed professional.
