By Bruce Whetten Douglas Dispatch Published/Last Modified on Monday, May 6, 2013 11:14 AM MDT
A fire Sunday morning destroyed two storage sheds but the quick action of a Douglas firefighter led to two homes being saved.
Lt. King drove by the area and saw the flames coming from the back of two residences. After radioing for backup he sprang into action quickly connecting one of the fire hoses to a nearby fire hydrant. He battled the blaze while waiting for the 14 other firefighters from the DFD and three additional trucks to arrive on the scene.
DFD Fire Chief Mario Novoa said witnesses in the two homes are reporting they heard an explosion seconds before seeing flames in their back yards.
Two storage sheds on two separate properties were completely destroyed in the blaze.
Dry drush, excess garbage in back of some of the vehicles in the back yard as well as around the shed created a cause for concern as the winds began to pick up.
The DFD managed to save the two homes the sheds were located on and Chief Novoa credits King for his prompt action.
We were very lucky the winds didnt kick the fire up to the homes, the chief said. We are definitely in our fire season.
The chief said its not sure what the explosion was adding it could have been aerosol cans or something in or around an old refrigerator. The chief and his investigators are trying to determine what was stored inside the two storage units but because everything is a total loss it may be difficult to determine.
Chief Novoa is encouraging Douglas residents to clear a 15-25 foot area around their home and keep it clean.

(Toledo News Now) -
The start of spring usually means the start of the home improvement season. That is when many scammers go on the hunt for their prey: innocent homeowners.
Anyone who is not cautious or informed before paying someone to work on their property can fall victim.
That's why many homeowners are turning to do-it-yourself projects, but experts say the lack of experience can ultimately be just as dangerous when working on major renovations.
May is National Home Remodeling Month. The Home Builders Association (HBA) of Greater Toledo is working to better inform area residents on how to avoid bad remodeling experiences.
According to Toledo HBA Executive Vice PresidentBill Brennan, the key to good remodeling is to hire a trustworthy professional with a good record of success.
"Professionals just do home remodeling better," said Brennan. "They not only bring advanced construction skills, trained remodelers better manage customer service and business management to improve the remodeling experience for home owners."
Brennan encourages consumers to work with professionals who are knowledgeable in the latest building technologies, state building codes and housing trends.
Amanda St. Hilaire demonstrates what professional remodeling looks like, both before and after the project is complete, and has tips on avoiding scams on Your Morning,' starting at 5:30 a.m.
For more advice on home remodeling or hiring a professional remodeler contact the Toledo HBA at 419-473-2507.

Beware of home remodeling scammers
It's home remodeling season, the time of the year when do-it-yourselfers get ready for new home improvement adventures.
DIY projects accounted for 37 percent of all home remodeling projects performed nationwide in 2010 and 2011, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau.
You can save money by doing a remodeling project on your own, but before you start knocking down walls around the house, make sure you can handle the project.
Homeowners should consider safety risks, time delays and hidden costs before embarking on DIY home improvements, says the National Association of Home Builders Remodelers.
"Remodeling can be complex and oftentimes full of surprises, even for experts like our members," says NAHB Remodelers chairman Bill Shaw.
Projects involving plumbing, electrical work and any structural changes should be avoided by DIYers, says Paul Hamtil, owner of Hamtil Construction in St. Louis, and a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
"When you start messing with those types of things, you can quickly create a hazard without even knowing," he says. "Do the finishes, smaller surface projects, things like re-tiling."

(PRWEB UK) 6 May 2013
It has been reported in HVP that the HHIC has revealed that sales of boilers in the first quarter of 2013 are 7.1% higher than during the first quarter of 2012. The organisation, which is committed to effectively driving, supporting and promoting the sustained growth of the UK domestic heating and hot water industry, claims that this is a particularly encouraging step for the industry. Director, Roger Webb, explains that the increase is likely due to the prolonged cold weather but that we hope this upward trend is sustained into the coming months.
The figures come following news of the introduction of new boiler efficiency standards, designed to save 10% of Europes energy consumption.
Renowned for their Liverpool emergency plumbers, Plumber 24 Hours also carry out boiler repairs and servicing, and were pleased to hear of the encouraging new statistics. As well as actively researching industry news, the team place a strong emphasis on raising awareness of gas safety in the home, including the safe installation and maintenance of boilers. A representative explains the importance of getting boilers serviced at least once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
An annual service is essential for keeping your boiler in good working order. A gas safe registered engineer will undertake a full examination, checking that the heating system is correctly installed according to regulations, as well as check that is it working safely and efficiently according to the manufacturers instructions.
"With such a high demand for boiler services when the weather turns colder, it may be a good idea to get one done during the summer months. As always, remember to check that your engineer is Gas Safe registered before you let them undertake any work.
Plumber 24 Hours is the nations leading emergency plumbers company. Run by Martin Smith, the firm offers plumbers, gas engineers, oil engineers, drainage engineers and emergency electricians and works to provide a 24 hour domestic and commercial plumbing service 365 days of the year. With customer service the principle concern, Plumber 24 Hours has been noted by magazines as the most reliable plumbing emergency company. The company also makes use of the latest technology on the internet to make sure everything runs smoothly.
