Paso Robles ECHO shelter
By JOSH FRIEDMAN
A fire broke out inside an apartment at the Paso Robles ECHO shelter on Thursday evening.Â
Shortly before 8 p.m., a fire alarm sounded at the ECHO shelter. Initially, Paso Robles firefighters responded to a call reporting the alarm went off. But, following additional calls, firefighters determined there was a structure fire, according to a city of Paso Robles news release.
Firefighters arrived at the scene and found no smoke but actively flowing water from a first floor apartment sprinkler system. Firefighters quickly searched the apartment and found two dogs in a bathroom. They removed the dogs and turned them over to Paso Robles police until the owner could be located.
The blaze was isolated to the single first floor apartment. Firefighters remained at the scene until approximately 9:48 p.m., as they assisted the building owners with evacuating water and salvaging belongings.
A total of 12 firefighters took part in the fire response. Cal Fire personnel assisted Paso Robles firefighters.
Paso Robles fire personnel are investigating the cause of the blaze.
Officials say the fire serves as a good reminder that, with daylight savings time, residents should change the batteries in their smoke detectors.
I love how the article ends with a reminder to check the batteries in your smoke detector. As if the zombies living at ECHO are responsible enough to take care of themselves. For every Joe down on his luck needing a place, there are 10 schizophrenic fentanyl ferrets who are beyond ever becoming normal productive members of society.
Anyone think it’s weird the occupant just disappeared when the fire started, you know leaving his pets to die? This ECHO has barely gotten started. Prepare yourself for the parade of problems
“They removed the dogs and turned them over to Paso Robles police until the owner could be located”, please explain why the dogs were not turn over to animal services so they can be adopted by someone who knows how to care for them, and two of them??
You can’t fix crazy!
