NO ONE was injured in a generator fire yesterday morning at the Hagatna Payless along Route 4, according to Guam Fire Department spokesperson Angel Llagas.
The fire was reported to Emergency 911 as a “structure fire” at 8:20 a.m.
“The location of the reported structure fire was in the vicinity of Route 4 and the Payless Corporate office in Hagatna,” said Llagas.
The GFD units that responded to the “structure fire” were Engines 1 and 2, Scouts 2 and 3, Rescue 1 and 2, Medic 3, and Advanced Life Support 2.
However, ALS 2 arrived at 8:25 a.m. and found that the fire was confined to a generator room. It reclassified the fire to a “generator fire” and cancelled assisting units en route, according to Llagas.
“At 8:25 a.m., ALS 2 had secured the generator fire with a portable fire extinguisher. At 8:27 a.m., Engine 1 arrived on scene and the fire was confined to the generator room area,” added Llagas.
The cause of the fire was not known as of press time. It was not known if there would be an investigation launched. (
