HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — Firefighters were able to get a structure fire in Dededo under control less than 20 minutes after arriving on the scene, the Guam Fire Department reported.

About 12:10 p.m. Wednesday, units from GFD’s Dededo and Yigo fire stations responded to a reported structure fire along Santa Barbara Avenue in Dededo, acting GFD spokesperson Capt. Kevin Reilly said.

Reilly said a wood-and-metal extension to a concrete house was “fully engulfed” and there was smoke damage to the rest of the home before the blaze was extinguished.
