911 call reports smoke at residential home; fire unit en route to Highway 28 Southeast
A 911 caller reported smoke at a residential home and provided a location near Highway 28 Southeast while an emergency dispatcher asked for the emergency location and a fire unit was noted to be responding.

The exchange began with the dispatcher asking, “Where is the emergency?” The caller then reported, “Just had me smoke from the rear. I'm going through the alley into a 360. Highway 28 Southeast. Betty Fire Truck 47 is in route.”

Why this matters: smoke at a residence typically prompts immediate fire response and potential evacuation or life-safety actions; the transcript shows an emergency unit was reported en route but does not provide confirmation of fire, injuries, or property damage.

Details: the caller described smoke originating at the rear of a residential home and referenced moving “through the alley into a 360,” language that appears in the transcript but is not clarified. The transcript records that Fire Truck 47 (referred to as “Betty Fire Truck 47”) was reported as responding. No formal incident report, casualty information, or final disposition appears in the provided transcript.

This account is based solely on the 911 audio transcript excerpts. The transcript does not identify a case number, confirm a fire, or indicate whether additional units were dispatched or whether the incident was later escalated or cleared.
