Narrative
Our emergency dispatch center dispatched freddie carpenter to a hit facility on 12/16/2020 at 14:33 hrs. Freddie arrived on the scene at 14:59 hrs and found that there was an active fire at this address caused by an unknown third party driver who had struck the house with their vehicle and fled the scene. Freddie was assisted by brandon fast and they secured the service by squeezing off the 1/2' service line in the yard. The service was secured at 15:05 hrs. I was notified of the incident at approximately 15:20 hrs by operations supervisor scott zeerip. I then notified my chain of command of the incident and began gathering information. The incident was reported to kyle friske of the michigan public service commission at 15:58 hrs. After secondary report from the field came in; it was determined that the damage to the structure would most likely exceed $50,000. I then notified the national response center of the incident at 16:37 hrs edt. At this time the responding fire departments were still actively engaged in extinguishing the structure fire. Fire chief mike keefe ordered the vehicle be removed from the scene but left the customer meter and associated facilities in place for further investigation. Mpsc inspector derrek shimming contacted me at 16:48 hrs about this incident and determined that he would be on the scene at 09:00 hrs on 12/17/2020. Steve mccarthy was notified of the visit and will be on site at the time of the inspection.
