Due to the location of the actual fire and the conditions on arrival Chief 525 requested an "upgrade", this sent two additional engine companies to the scene. One engine from Edgewood Fire Dept., and one engine from Erlanger Fire & EMS.

The origin of the fire was determined to be in the walls of a unit on the ground floor, with smoke damage in two living units. The cause of the fire was undetermined at the time. No injuries were reported at the time of the incident.

Maintaining good working relationships

The Crescent Springs/ Villa Hills Fire Department would like to thank mutual aid partners from Fort Mitchell, Edgewood, and Erlanger Fire Departments for their continued support.

Maintaining good working relationships with the neighbors is important to ensure that there is continuously an appropriate amount of staff and equipment at each incident that requires additional support.
