Subject: Fire Damaged Building
Location of Fire: 6390 Ashton Avenue
Date of Fire: July 6, 2015
The fire department was dispatched to 6390 Ashton Avenue on a report that the bathroom is
on fire. The first arriving unit discovered a fire out in the bathroom, with arcing wires from a
bathroom fan. The occupants had discovered a fire in the bathroom and used a fire
extinguisher to knock it down. They then closed the bathroom door and evacuated. The fire
apparently originated from the bathroom fan dropping hot material into a magazine rack
starting the paper on fire and igniting the plastic toilet seat. Firefighters isolated the power to
the bathroom and pulled the ceiling down to check for extension. No one was injured and one
Engine from Columbia Heights assisted the Fridley Engine on scene.
The home is rented from a relative living in San Diego and the occupants have renters
insurance.
