Danville Fire Department Responded to a possible structure fire in the 300 block of Arnette Blvd just after 1 pm. Upon arrival units found a single family residential structure with moderate smoke coming from the structure. After assisting the occupant from the structure, crews were able to determine that there was a piece of furniture on fire inside the structure. Crews extinguished the fire and removed smoke. The residence didn’t receive any structural damage but did receive smoke damage that rendered the structure uninhabitable. The cause of the fire was determined to be improperly discarded smoking materials. One person was displaced and is receiving assistance from the Red Cross. Four engines, one ladder truck, one safety officer , and a chief officer remained on the scene for just over an hour.
