This past Sunday, the Denton Volunteer Fire Company responded to Briarwood Circle for a reported structure fire.  An occupant discovered the fire inside the attached garage and alerted the rest of the household and also closed the door of the garage leading into the house. Everyone in the home made it out safely, and the homeowners quick thinking helped keep the fire from spreading further.  Fire investigators have listed the preliminary cause as accidental, resulting from discarded smoking materials. The State Fire Marshal’s Office estimates the loss to the structure and its contents at $300,000. Five people were displaced from the home as a result of the fire.  The displaced family is now being supported by family, friends, and the American Red Cross.
