Lebanon Fire District Lebanon fire crews battled two working house fires within a 5-hour span on Friday night, stretching their available resources thin and testing the endurance of responders. The first fire came in at 5:38 p.m. at 30033 Fairview Road with reports of heavy smoke within the home. Both occupants were able to escape the structure, but by the time firefighters arrived the home was fully involved with fire venting from multiple windows. Firefighters quickly knocked the fire down but a partial collapse of the second floor rendered the building structurally unsafe for entry, so crews had to use existing openings in the structure to fully extinguish the fire. The structure and its contents were ruled a complete loss. Fire investigators returned to the scene on Saturday and spent hours examining potential areas of origin based on witness accounts. The investigation revealed that a wood stove pipe had been improperly installed in such a manner that it came into direct cont
